I would take those "drink, drink, and drink more" replies with a bit of a grain of salt. I found Adelaide to be a lot of work. And sure, we had time to party also, and we did (in fact some of the 'good times' I had there rival those I had in first year university!), but we also spent a lot of time sitting down and memorizing SOPs, getting lectured about ATPL subjects, and figuring out how to set up and fly a clunky and challenging sim. If your background is turboprop, and especially, non-autopilot-equipped turboprop, you may find the 737 sim to be a bit of a handful. It's all quite doable with normal effort. However. I just wouldn't expect to be drunk the entire time.

For a good prespective and heads up on the whole ADL thing, have a look at this thread:
