Beer is so cheap down there. Stock up and pay the duty. Its no big deal. I usually smuggle a couple 24 packs at a time. But I have crossed so many times I know when I can and when I can't get away with it. The best trick is buying hard liquer at the Canadian Duty Free when you head south. Last time I crossed, it was $20 for 2 40's of rye (Gibsons). Then just smuggle it back into Canada.
If you do go down to Babb. Head to the Babb bar for supper. You won't get a better steak anywhere, guaranteed. It will cost like $25 US. But it will be 20 oz minimum. Best steak I have ever had in my life.

Are you really instructing people to break the law? Is it worth the risk of getting caught smuggling goods to save a few dollars on your booze?
