My alcohol bill for the holidays was about $480 CAN, and that doesn't include the liquor store gift certificates Santa left in my stocking. With my tendancies, the house would be burned to the ground within hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba The Hunt Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Your lucky, I had very little alcohol during the Christmas period, basically cause I'm on a diet beer really doesnt help. It could be worse though, 2 of my friends cant drink alcohol cause they are on medication. One of them wont be allowed any for atleast the next 11 months, that takes it past his 18th birthday. Imagine not being able to get drunk on your 18th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I can... In all but 2 provinces, Canada's legal drinking age is 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Nitro, is teh Canadian parlement really gonna raise the drinking age to 21 for american's only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 No... It already is. See, under Canadian law, you have to be of legal age in both the province you're in, and your home town. Example: Say I'm 18. I live in New Brunswick, which is next to Quebec. Quebec's drinking age is 18, while NB's is 19. I can't go to Quebec and buy booze. However, if I live in Quebec, I still can't drink in NB until I'm 19. Now, say I live in Quebec, and I'm going to Alberta, where the age is also 18... The drive takes me through 3 other provinces (Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan) who's drinking ages are all 19. I'm allowed to posess, but not consume or purchase, alcohol while in transit from Quebec to Alberta. Now, since you Yanks have to be 21, you're all screwed, since regardless of our provincial laws, if you're not legal at home, you're not legal here.

Jem Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I'm 18 and in Ottawa (drinking age starts at 19 over here), If I want to have a couple of drinks all I have to do is cross the river over to Quebec which takes me less than 20 minutes by car and I can drink all I want over there.

Nitro Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 True, most places don't care, as long as you clear the local laws, but it's still illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 That stuff's lost on me when I'm 21, so I'll donate a few years to anyone who wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jem Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I have tried many different ypes of alcohol but the only taste I can feel out of them is disgust. But I did enjoy those Baccardi/Fruit beverage they have in England for a while, but the next day it became disgusting like the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold leader Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I'm sorry to say this - but those Bacardi Breezers are child's stuff, lemonade, seriously. I guess it takes some time to really learn to appreciate beer or wine, but I guess some people never will. Nothing wrong with that, though.

Nitro Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Beer really is a bit of an aquired taste... I aquired it one night a few years back. I'd never been much of a beer drinker before, and I'd been drinking Crown Royal all night with no chaser, and after finishing a quart, switched to the beer. Let me tell you, boys... It never tasted so good. And I got to taste it all again when it came back up - mixed with straight vodka, smirnoff twist, some morgan's, and a few shots of tequila - a few hours later, and kept coming up for a few hours more. An hour in the bathroom at Ryan's (not me) place, followed by passing out in his bathroom for another 30 minutes, then hanging out the window of the car, leaving a trail of dry heaves from Ryan's to my place, then another 2 hours at my place. Dad just sat there watching tv and laughing to himself. That, kids, is why I don't drink heavily anymore... Special occasions, holidays, and the summer vacation excluded. But I've since come to love a cold beer on a hot day, or a cold beer on a cold day after work, or a cold beer before I play CS/NS. On the downside, I can blame my drinking of beer at home for losing my status as a "cheap" drunk. I can't even get buzzed in a club anymore for less than $40.

Tierce Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 The trick to enjoying liquor (whether its beer, wine, etc) is to do it moderately, make some limits...get buzzed enough...DON'T Get ****faced...(ie. Nitro's excapades)...and you'll be fine, usually you wont even feel it the next day. Oh yeah...when dealing with hard liquor...Mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Or you could be like my friend Doug and drink woman drinks. Doug's heavily into bitch drinks. Who wants a sex on the beach? *Doug raises hand* Fuzzy navel? *Doug raises hand* Strawberry daquiri? *Doug would raise his hand, but after the fuzzy navel and sex on the beach, the poor sod is falling down drunk, babbling about kidneystones and out-holes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
