The Drinking age in BC is 19, in Alberta it's 18, It's 19 in Ontario and 18 in Quebec. In Newfoundland the drinking age is determined by weather or not you can reach the top of counter at the bar.
I'm amazed by the US's decision to not lower the legal drinking age. They’ll trust their men and women to go to war and fight and die for their country in some god awful third world shit hole, but you won't trust them to drink a beer until they're 21. :roll:

From my many ordeals in Montreal, the drinking age is determined by whether or not you have a wallet with money in it.....no offense to Canadiens, but coming from the US, your laws seem oh so soft compared to ours....

Not to get off topic, but in many states someone can legally get behind the wheel of a car at age 15 and change, yet they must wait six years to have a beer legally. I dont get it. I think that driving is a much larger safety issue, as well as responsability than having a beverage with a friend.

Actually it's 19 in Sask....to whoever posted that it's 18 there.
I think drinking ages are a crock, no wonder americans go off to college and get so drunk at their first party they are hospitalised...if they had learned when they were 16 they wouldnt' get in nearly as trouble

We let kids learn how to drive before we let them drink. Talk about really stupid.

haha, funny store about the canadian drinking age. which as far as i know is 19, BECAUSE...
i was interning in ohio once upon a summer, and over the course of the summer turned 19. so all the other college kids at the climbing gym are like, "sweet! lets go to canada!"
and this is totally lost on me. "why the hell would we go to canada?" says I. "uhh, because you can drink there?" and i'm like, "oh." i look puzzled. "isnt that kind of far to drive for a party?" "nah dude its only like 3 hours from here."
i had to laugh out loud, because from where i live, canada is this far, cold place that you would never think of driving to, have no knowledge of its customs, ect.
we didnt end up going to canada; i went climbing for the weekend. but i did meet a really cute canadian at HP40 about a month ago who had a peirced..... for the sake the children we'll say it was "ear". but it wasnt.
