I'm from Canada and I drink beer!

I pay around 60 bucks for a 24 of Nastro Azzuro..highway robbery!

Mmmmm beer. I've been drinking a lot of that good stuff lately.

Your post makes no sense. The US dollar's value has no bearing on the price of Canadian beer.

And who wants to drink piss water, which is what most American beers are.

hey im always in the carolinas sucking up rolling rock for a drastic discount in price. its a good beer apart from presidente in the dominican!

$60?? HOLY FUCKING SHIT! that's definitely highway robbery.

I drink 40oz of Old English for $4.75 a pop...

Magic comes in 40's ladies and gentlemen...

Thats so true. Alcohol is heavily taxed in Canada.

Federal: You have the excise duty tax and GST
Provincial: Standard sales tax, licensing fees, levi and mark up fees (set minimum price sales generated by local gov).

The federal excise taxes are broken down on the percentage of ethyl alcohol content and the taxes paid vary from 1 litre - 100 litres depending on variety and start at $11 per litre and up $50 per 100 litres

Provincial taxes vary from province to province with Alberta and Nunavut having no provinical taxes. I guess in Alberta they figure you suffered enough with Ralph Klein and Nunavut being so far off the beaten path deserve all the breaks it can get.


So in all essence alcohol is actually cheap minus the taxes. You'd think our government would have figured it out that implementing these so called "sin taxes" haven't stop people from consuming alcohol which they hoped in turn would lower health care cost related to alcohol. I really think they found a cash cow and are milking it for everything it's got.

old Milwaukee taste great and cheap
