Buck a beer bye bye, LCBO big brother

^.05 will buy you a 12 hour license suspension, and .08 will get you busted.

I'm amazed at the number of drunk drivers caught in Hamilton, and the high some of register, i.e. .2XX+.

Maybe there are that many drunk drivers elsewhere and it's just not reported, or maybe there are more in Hamilton I don't know. All I know is that I hope it gets better.

It's Russian Roulette drinking and driving.

Today, I saw a Beer Truck with this helpful tip. Here's the paraphrase of the trucks lettering.

Buy a 24 instead of 4 six packs and save up to $7.

Thanks for the tip.......

Looks like it was the beer companies in an act of government sponsored collusion that increased the minimum floor price.

Gotta love when the government removes competition at the request, and for the profits, of multinationals.

I just can't believe the arugment for fighting alcoholism with higher prices. It's like saying if you're beyond a certain income threshold, you're allowed to be an alcoholic. It's discrimination.
