I was on a bus with some kids (18-19) and they had about ten slabs of beer they were taking home. Someone said something to them and they said that there was works going on in their building and the water would be off for 24 hours, so they had to have something to drink.

How much/many is a slab of beer? Never heard that expression before
24 cans/bottles
Beer cans etc are often delivered 24 to a cardboard tray, wrapped in plastic.
A slab is actually quite a good description for them.
As soon as I saw the reply, I could visualise it. Already told my friends, making it a thing in my neck of the woods as well
lol any excuse to drink. A bucket of water would be safe for that short of time.
Joking aside, they usually hand out pamphlets telling you to do exactly this for short periods.
In our city they have mobile water tanks they hook up to buildings if it’s over 48 hours iirc.
