...to a mates place. We finished it and we're now down the pub. Trying to sweet talk the Missus in to letting me stay longer.
The mate is 18 years my junior, hope he can keep up.

I'm afraid to ask, but what does "carton" usually refer to in Oz-sprach; in Americanish its default signification absent contextual information and applies-to-object is to a certain size package of cancer-weed tubes (cigarettes) ? In Americanish slang, a "a carton-pusher" is an vendor of illegal cigarettes.
If discretion requires you answer this only indirectly (how would I know what substances are used on the way to a mating place in your down-under ?), then an answer in the form of: "drank," "ate," "smoked," "injected," "snorted," "bathed-in," etc., without further detail would be understood.

"Carton" is Western Australian for a box normally containing 24 "stubbies" (or short bottles of beer containing about 375ml) but which can hold 30 on occasion.

Down in the south of the US, we call those a suitcase of beer. Same principle, you buy one when you're ready to get f***** up.

Where you from, old boy; I ain't never heard of no suitcase of beer down home, and I come from where the howlin' dogs are quieted by throwing 'em fresh-fried hush-puppies, where uppity white-folks don't eat catfish, and where folks who say "col-yum" instead of "column" ain't never read no Faulkner, let alone James Joyce.
Y'all have a good 'un, now.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Here in Arizona we call that "the last call" at closing time.

It is not a WA thing, a carton can also be called a slab (cans instead of bottles) or case anywhere in Oz.
