Anyone who buys their beer, wine or spirits in this country, except in Quebec, needs their heads read.

I get all my suds from a good source that makes weekly trips to North Dakota. This individual was laid off a few years ago when their company downsized so now they have a very lucrative rum-running business and since they operate tax free they are actually making more money than when they were employed. 

Grant it the American beer has less alcohol but you get used to it very quickly. I can purchase a 24 can box for $25.00 CDN, a saving of over half here. A number of my friends purchase liquor and wine too.  The individual has hit his busy season and is now making three trips a week, but after Christmas that will die down to one.
