There is no such thing as cheap booze in Canada.
Pretty much everywhere I've travelled in the past 5 years has been cheaper. Eastern Europe is way cheaper, pints were the same price as water/juice at a restaurant. Europe in general had much, much cheaper wine. I bought a bottle in France for 2 or 3 euro and it was very drinkable, hard to find anything drinkable up here for less than $10. California seemed to sell stuff at about half the price we sell it for here and obviously Tequila in particularly is dirt cheap there as compared to here.
I've heard Sweden is bad for booze prices too.
Really I'm amazed that people can afford to drink in this country. When 2 pints of beer costs you the same amount that a good meal AND 2 pints of beer costs in the Czech Republic, something seems off.
I wonder if there is any sort of correlation between the number of weed smokers in Canada and the price of drinking. The high taxation on alcohol could be driving people to smoke weed instead, lol.
