''Are you having a big one?'' Or sometimes: ''are you going hard tonight?''. These are questions related to the length and stamina of your evening. It is asking if you will be out late. It may also be asking if you plan to do this in a fun and perhaps drunken manner.
''Taxi!!!'' If someone drops a glass or falls over in a bar, locals yell taxi. This means that it’s probably time to go home, this is usually just a joke.
''Whose round is it?'' Or “the next one is on me!”. Australians tend to buy drinks as a group. This could be for efficiency or simply because some people don’t like to pay for their own drinks. So when someone asks “Whose round is it?”, this means: who is buying the next drinks for the group? If the next one is on you, then get your wallet out!
''Down the hatch!'' Simply means: ''drink up!''
''Line em up!'' Usually refers to drinking shots (30ml of spirits) as a group.
''Picking up'' Or: ''hooking up'', refers to finding love out on the town.
''Pissed'' Or: hammered, gone, poleaxed, messy, smashed, tanked, maggoted, out of it, trashed - all refer having too much to drink. Enjoy responsibly!
''I'm bailing'' Or: bolting, jetting, scooting, heading off, piss bolting, cruising, buggering off, piking - all refer to someone leaving at the end of the night, or during (piker!)
''What’s your poison?'' What kind of drink would you like?
