Protests over dwarf drink promotion

June 03, 2008 12:29pm
Article from: NEWS.com.au

* Dwarf walks on bar, giving away Jagermeister
* No doubt pub will become more popular
* PM has Young Labor booze problem - Nelson

A PUB promotion involving a bare-chested and top-hatted dwarf walking the length of a bar pouring free booze down the throats of patrons has drawn protests from alcohol education campaigners.

The Jagermeister promotion has been on one night a week at The Saint in St Kilda, Melbourne, the Port Phillip Leader reports.


Jagermeister distanced itself from the promotion, which follows the Federal Government's campaign to clamp down on binge-drinking.

The Saint management declined to comment about whether the Wednesday party nights could contravene new laws preventing irresponsible consumption of alcohol.

Jagermeister brand manager John Howells promised to investigate, saying the stunt was "not responsible service".

Liquor Licensing Victoria spokeswoman Rebecca Harrison said the case looked like an example of irresponsible service.

Jude Munro, chairwoman of the National Local Government Drug and Alcohol Advisory Committee, said the stunt was unsafe.

"What St Kilda has to be careful of is that the very thing that attracts people to the area can so quickly turn around and put people off," she said.

Victorian Minister for Consumer Affairs Tony Robinson said the alcohol promotion was irresponsible.

"Patrons accepting these free drinks will have no idea how much alcohol they have consumed," Mr Robinson said.

Albert Park MP Martin Foley called it an "outrageous" and "offensive" example of the binge-drinking culture.

I like...

'But 6 years kid. That's really what pisses me off the most. And we're not talking just any 6 years. 19-25. Those are my prime fucking years. Do you know how many times I shot down a sweet, charming, intelligent girl in line at starbucks. Or shunned the advances of the admittedly moronic but still dam sexy hipster girls at Estelle's.'

and

'You're starting to look weathered and rapidly approaching the stereotypical "bar whore" look. Honestly, I'm not saying this to hurt you.'

Weathered is an hilarious term for describing someone's looks.

Weathered is exactly how I would describe most of the girls that go to Retro. (Info for Goat - that's where the Bridgette incident happened)
