Where was this when I was a teenager?

So this seventeen-year-old kid in Australia works overtime, and gets paid in bourbon!

"If I worked back late my host, instead of paying me overtime, would buy me a four-pack of bourbon. He told me not to put [the overtime] down," Mark said.

At least in this state, I suspect the time-and-a-half would be cheaper. Then again, the fine for furnishing alcohol to a minor would be more expensive than either one. (The drinking age in Australia is 18; I checked.) I guess things really are different Down Under!
