Crate Day

Common card · No. 312242

Crate Day is an unofficial celebration in New Zealand, held on the first Saturday of December every year. Participants set themselves the challenge of finishing a crate of twelve 745ml beer bottles between noon and midnight. The total alcohol content of a crate, 300 grams, is close to a lethal dose. Crate Day was first promoted by radio station The Rock in 2010, and the event has since grown in popularity, leading to a number of disturbances, arrests, and injuries each year. Many alcohol-related businesses have promotions for the event, and numerous local councils enact liquor bans or restrictions over the weekend. The Rock no longer promotes the event.
