Good, at least I know not to go to Canada and say 'Canadian Beer Sucks!'.

If you were to say that in any bar I am in, I would guarantee you would crawl out of the bar after I poured lots of beer down your neck. At my expense. Just to see you get drunk.

In 2002 as I was preparing for my second deployment aboard the USS Harry S. Truman, I recall there was a Canadian destroyer tied up to the opposite pier as us. One of the Canadians came up to me and said "Come on aboard, we have $1 beers!" I wanted to so bad, but I was only 20 at the time and was LITERALLY walking down the pier to board ship for deployment next morning.

Beer, including Canadian beer, is for sissies.

Real He Men drink Whiskey, and while Canada does make some passable spirits there is certainly no better in the world than our top domestic brands.

20 is legal in Canada. Boozing age is 19

Ohh trust me, I know this. But that destroyer was tied up to OUR pier. Hence, I had to be 21.

Distilled water IS THE best. I prefer mine distilled in Scotland.
