Vienna beer festival.

Does Austria really need another beer festival? Aren’t there enough events involving Lederhosen, Dirndl and drinking ridiculous amounts of beer in Austria and Bavaria anyway? I mean, if I want to drink overpriced beer, get drunk, have a fight and be sick, then I’ll just go back home to England. Oh wait sorry, I’m forgetting, because you’re doing it whilst wearing traditional dress and listening to Austrian folk music (shudder), its acceptable. I’ll bear that in mind next time I’m drunk and disorderly on the street and take an ‘emergency lederhosen’ kit with me. If the police stop me I’ll just quickly whip it out, put it on and et voila! Everything’s ok, because its traditional.
