Hi. What’s a “slab” of beer?? And what state/region does that term come from?

Australia, a slab is a carton/24 beers.

It’s well known in Australian law, that if you see a friend on the news or in a newspaper, and are the first to declare “slabbed” when you see them - you win a slab at their expense.

Jesus, just did some digging, and even within my own country the term ‘slab’ is disputed regionally.

I’m from Victoria, but I live in Western Australia. A slab to me and mine, has always been a box/case/carton of bottles or cans. Wether that’s 24 bottles or 30 cans - a slab is still a big block of beer.
