All these laws, and no one area is better off than any other.

In Ontario, we can buy almost any kind of beer, and some wine coolers at The Beer Store (tm), or we can take a trip to the LCBO (tm) (The short form for Liquor Control Board of Ontario) to buy hard liquor, wines, and some beers.

The LCBO has marble floors that we get to pay for every time we make a purchase. That, and the unionized wages to the, um, staff.
Oh my. I forgot to mention the taxes. LOL.

$12.50 for a 6 pack of Coors Light in cans.
The least expensive bottle of decent red wine is $14

Dang! That's expensive even after converting to American dollars.

If there's a special vendor promotion, we sometimes get a six-pack of beer for $2. I can get an adequate red wine at Wal-mart for $4.00 and a good one for $7.

The one good thing about Michigan is that you can find decent liquor in the MegaMarts and the good stuff at World Market and other specialty food shops.

Time to find out who among your neighbors makes homebrewed beer.

And take him some empties.
