Travelling to Canada next week, any tips?

[Curious Hound]

Tried Alberta Ice, the cheapest beer we could find. Not bad really and $18 after tax for a 15 pack wasn't too bad.

15 pack????
Dang. They even do 12 packs in metric system.

Well, it's a bit more than that if you don't have a Canadian health card...

There's always a catch.

Yeah dude. Weird. I didn't see anything bigger, are high capacity beer containers outlawed there too???

A 12 pack is a case.
A 24 pack is a suitcase.
You know, for when your going out for overnight...
And most beer is 5%, tho there is some as high as 11% or more.
Our light beer is about 3%, about the same as regular American beer...
But I quit drinking 15 years ago, so maybe that's changed.

Case lets you keep a 6 pack, suitcase ends you up with a keg.
