Law Student Pub Crawl Descends into Sick Chaos

In what has reportedly taken the annual law school tradition of ‘pub-crawling’ to a new level, 60 law students fr

om the University of Western Australia have gone on a 3.5km drinking rampage, leaving a trail of destruction, ‘vomit-bags’ and an out-of-pocket publican.

The rules of the Blackstone Law Student Society Pub Crawl of May 2008, which resulted in two Northbridge pubs receiving a $1000 fines each last week, were:

• Travel with the group of law students to 10 predetermined, licensed venues;
• Consume 1 alcoholic beverage at each ‘pit stop’;
• Wear a plastic ’vomit bag’; and
• Ensure that no vomit hits the ground by vomitting into the ‘vomit bag’ if required.

Counsel representing the pubs helpfully submitted during the trial:

‘Basically it’s a timed event by students, with no spillage (allowed)… the first one to complete the course under the rules wins the race.’

Counsel also submitted that the pubs only agreed to grant the law students entry because they thought the ‘R U Barking Pub Crawl’, the name of the event, was a charitable event. Unsurpisingly, counsel was unable to get the pubs out of the steep fine, even though the Magistrate was a former vice-president of the Blackstone Society.
