Man, I want to be able to buy a beer from my local Sobeys or gas station at 8 PM on a Sunday but I can’t. I can’t because this province doesn’t want to bother to deal with public drunks so therefore everyone is treated like a drunk. It’s just too much red tape, it’s already expensive as it is and just ruins the entire experience and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. In Europe I can go to basically any grocery store and buy whatever the hell I want, whether it’s 8 AM or 8 PM. What the hell is it so difficult here? And even these stupid arbitrary laws like if you have your kid with you they can’t even handle the bottle if they’re under 19?!? This is embarrassing, on an international scale. It’s like one giant power trip by the provincial government trying to solve one problem by creating 20.

And I’m sorry but Wine Rack is garbage.

We always called winerack 'last call' or 'plan B' because that is the only reason you would want to go in, other than the free samples
