Easy enough.
This will change my life not at all.
I go to a private liquor store that didn’t get rid of US booze. I just avoided it.
Do you guys have public(ally owned) booze shops?
In BC most liquor stores are government owned, but private ones also exist.
I don’t drink anymore, just lost interest as i got older and don’t miss it. It’s an easy fuck you with no effort on my part.
Same. I’ll have a beer now and then, but there’s so many small breweries these days it’s easy to avoid the American ones.
Also, now that I don’t drink to get drunk any more, I’m willing to pay more for better beer.
Wab is based, drink local folks.
The only US alcohol I like is Bourbon. I recently discovered BRBN from the Okanogan, and now I can’t think of any I would miss.
I haven’t found any but I’ve been looking for just that one. It’s good?
I got the cheapest one my liquor store had and it’s great. Maybe not quite as nice as my favourite from the US (Buffalo Trace), but still very good. I’d like a chance to sample all their bourbon like offerings, but I don’t drink a lot or often, so unless I go to the distillery, that will take a very long time.
Buffalo Trace
This is quite mid at best, only hyped up…
Oops, dropped. Oops, dropped it. Oops, dropped it. Oops, dropped it. Oops, dropped it.
And oh, it’s really cold outside which is why my friends and I are wearing balaclavas… Oops, dropped it.
Sorry, let me help you clean this up. Man, these gloves are just so slippe- Oops, slipped. Man, what a mess.
While cathartic in the moment, product insurance means the alcohol would be of less value just sitting on the shelves.
Don’t waste your energy on ruining the American economy. Americans can do that much better. Spend your energy and money on Canada instead.
You’d be more productive sending trump DMs saying “Iran is disrespecting the fuck out of you. I wouldn’t take that if I was you. You don’t wanna look like a loser, do you?” More likely to ruining the economy that way
I don’t want their booze, their diarrhea lettuce, or their super hero movies. We’re continuing this boycott until the US gets their shit together.
I don’t buy booze but if I do, I won’t.
Can’t make me buy that swill anymore. It can collect dust on a shelf.

I wonder how Doug pour-the-whisky Ford would spin this. 😅
Yeah, the year long ban in place has allowed me to find other liquors I learned to enjoy.
Turns out a year is all you need to develop an acquired taste.
If you insult a nations sovereignty and identity, the boycott is stronger 10 fold.

In most cases, you are not legally required to pay for something you break in a store.
Stores have shrinkage insurance for accidental breakage.
With that said, a visitor coming into a store, “bumping” into that American bottle, and leaving, can be a very normal experience. A hundred people doing it every day for a week will suddenly make American liquor difficult/impossible to restock because of how accident-prone it is.
It’s already paid for by the store, then they need to buy more to replace it. All this does is sell more Yank whiskey.
Will they?
Suddenly this line item doesn’t create a profit.
I do love storeclerks who either hang out a list or two or put stuff in a dusty little dark corner.
