Hi, Matt, Good post! But, the drinking age, AFAIK, is now 19 in most of Canada - except Quebec, which is still 18.
It used to be 18 in most provinces, but they put it up by one year - like that'll make a difference, eh? I just didn't want a flood of 18 year old Pentaxians coming up to this country, looking to drink our beer. OTOH, if they're still underage, they can just phlame up a phatty, as pot's now decriminalized. Not legal, mind you, but decriminalized. But, that's another post for another time... cheers, frank Matt Bevers wrote: > I have a story about Labatt Blue, it goes as follows: > > A friend of mine had an older brother who took a trip up to Canada when > he turned 18 (that's the drinking age there, it's 21 in the US) - he of > course went right to a bar.
