    I don’t think it’s marketed to young people, I think it’s marketed to severe alcoholics. There are a shocking number of people who will go through this jug in a day or two.

    I agree with the minister’s concerns that it’s too cheap. I recently moved from BC and it seems that bottom shelf hard liquor in general in Alberta is too cheap.

          Go the fuck home, moron. Charging more doesn’t slow the problem drinkers down, it just adds to their troubles.

            I am home, suck my dick

            I’m not saying just sin tax the shit, it’s too cheap in proportion to other alcohol. The low-income problem drinker who switches from beer to jugs of vodka to save money is going to make their problem much much worse.

              Go home. They like shit excuses for logic better on the other side the mountains. Nobody’s switching from beer to vodka by the gallon, they’re already there. 2x2 liters instead of a gallon jug, big fucking difference. Saskatchewan you can buy vodka by the 5 gallon blue water jug.
