Crate day

Crate day is an unofficial celebration in New Zealand, held on the first Saturday of December every year. Participants set themselves the challenge of drinking a crate of 12 beers between midday and midnight. The event is often seen as a way to celebrate the start of summer, and is a popular way to spend time with friends and family.

The origins of Crate day are unclear, but it is thought to have started in the 1970s or 1980s. The event has grown in popularity over the years, and is now celebrated by people all over New Zealand.

There are no official rules for Crate day, but participants typically try to drink their entire crate before midnight. Some people choose to drink their beer at home, while others head to bars or pubs. There are also a number of organised events held around the country, such as the Crate day festival in Auckland.

Crate day is a fun and social event, but it is important to remember to drink responsibly. If you are planning on participating in Crate day, make sure to pace yourself and stay hydrated. You should also be aware of the risks of alcohol abuse, and make sure to get home safely after the event.
