Where can you even find drink specials in Calgary these days? Some of the places I remember 3 or 4 years ago had drink specials at $2.99 or $3.99 but even theyre up to $5 or $6 a drink with no specials.

Last call on cheap booze

Province looking at setting minimum prices for drinks to curb violence outside bars
By RICK BELL
Well, the idiots may have finally pushed a little too far.
We're talking about bars pushing bargain basement hooch to a crowd who wants to get loaded on the least possible loot, with those feeling no pain often becoming a huge pain to those who do.
Yes, the province is now seriously thinking about setting a minimum price on booze sold in licensed establishments, as suggested by Alberta's task force on crime.
