| - Oh Alberta, I have heard countless stories over the years that your beer is as cheap as water, your vino as pricey as Welch's, and your spirits, well, they could literally lift you with price happiness...
But alas, it was just a nasty rumor!
You ask, "why so glum BC boy?"
Well, I ventured all the way one province east in search of this mystical almost free booze. With tales of sales so low I figured everyone here must be a regular at AA on Wednesdays.
So I entered the Co-op with a smirk and wallet full of Sir John A's.
Huh?
What the *%&$!
Prices were the same as BC, or even worse. What gives AB?
I thought all that oil in dem-der hills subsidized your hooch?
Not so much.
With my heart crushed I moped in the corner of the walk-in beer cooler. A tear may have rolled down my cheek. I dunno, I think it froze on the way down. Lost... disoriented... I had to soldier on. Bumping into more and more expensive beverage. I made my move to the EXIT.
And then, as fast as you could utter the words "rip-off", I saw that Crown was on sale. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
My night was complete. And you have mixers at the checkout! Brilliant.
Thank you Co-op.
No, I am not a member.
But Yay, I am a fan.
