The Ontario Public Health Association … cites multiple studies showing that increases in the number of places where alcohol can be bought in Ontario, and in other jurisdictions, have already led to more consumption and more of the harms that come with it, such as suicides, drunk driving, emergency-room visits and higher rates of cancer.
I enjoy booze, but I like that it’s hard to get. I don’t need any more encouragement to mess up my liver.
I’ve been to Australia and booze was very easy to get by, there’s even drive-thru booze stores there. They are however extremely strict on under-age sales of booze and tobacco and that’s a great thing in my opinion - the store gets shut down if caught.
