Drinking Ettiquette in Australia – THE SHOUT- The “Shout” is as Australian as fair dinkum and meat pies. To shout means to buy something for someone. It is most notably used in the context of drinking at the pub and requires a group of 2 or more people. The best number to have in a shout is 4, any more and the system tends to fail after a few beers, as no one can remember who shouted last. If you have more than 4 people break up into small more manageable groups.
How the shout works.

The first person in the shout buys a round. A round is one drink for every person in the group, which is collectively called a shout. When all the glasses are nearing empty in the group, the next person to shout gets the round. It is important to note that the shout occurs before glasses are empty. This maintains a drinking rhythm. The system continues until it returns to the start and so on until you are kicked out of the pub or fall down drunk, which ever comes first……….click hare
