If you need a cheap 40% ethanol solution for some reason, this is a decent bargain.
I don’t recommend drinking it.
Dozer makes it. It’s good for two things, degreasing engines and killing brain cells.
Sick reference my dude
You don’t want to know how much that would cost in Ontario
Probably a couple weeks in rehab.
Hmmm boat cleaner. Also, idk shit about ice and snow, but couldn’t you use that to melt ice off your windshield?
It should freeze near -20C iirc. Since this is Canada it could be even colder than that, but this could work I think.
I think I just heard Russia abruptly getting rock-fucking-hard.
I don’t know, if there’s any nation that can’t get it up properly at this point, it’s them.
Just calculated if this good value.
4L of alcohol like this would be €142.80 in Ireland.
So the price in the picture is actually quite good value lol
You have us beat on beer, but Alberta sure knows how to distill chemicals. And also taxes most things pretty lightly.
This comes out to €34,19 to save everyone a click.
I didn’t even know it came in gallon form.
It doesn’t come in imperialism form, it is in liberté form.
Just wanted to clarify something here about Canadians… So you put your milk in bags but your vodka goes into milk jugs?
Bagged milk isn’t common in Edmonton, 4L jugs just like this are ubiquitous in Alberta. That’s more of a BC+Ontario+Quebec thing. I can’t remember if the Maritimes do it now.
That being said, I’m not sure if you could store vodka in a bag, with booze being so controlled. I suppose boxed wine is a bag inside.
I haven’t seen bagged milk in BC either
Oh, maybe not then. I only know it was available out there at some point.
I have a vague memory of seeing bagged Island Farms milk in one grocery store on Vancouver Island but it would’ve been over 20 years ago. I only ever knew one family that bought it, and they were complete weirdos across the board.
Bagged milk isn’t common in Edmonton,
In the last 30+ years it’s only really common in Ontario.
Back in the late 70s it was tested across the country, but only for a few years.
But, apparently, what happens in Toronto means that it must be normal in the entire country, according to the rest of the world…
you buy milk 4 L at a time?
No…that would be insane. 1 US gallon is only 3.78541178 liters.
surely your milk can’t be that precise
If I may suggest a certain tune?
I was recently in Japan and found a store selling a 4L bottle of Suntory whiskey. I was shocked by it too, thing was fuckin massive.
A small cup for small family
I can only assume when a politician says this is irresponsible that they want the price to be lower?
Perfect format for the shitty bars that fill their call brands with cheap shit!
Gone JUGGIN’
That seems really cheap for Canada. Kinda surprised that packaging is legal too.
I thought I read an article recently that they actually started banning this jug in some places.
Edit: I guess it was a different brand of 4L vodka jug??? https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/alberta-distillery-to-stop-making-4-litre-vodka-jugs-after-minister-raises-concern-1.6839392
And the concern, as far as I can tell, was that it’s too cheap for one of the umpteen ministers, and he felt that’s unfair to other producers. Not the packaging.
Alberta doesn’t really get involved in alcohol the same way that provinces that care about their population does.
Trust me Ontario government doesn’t care about its people, they just regulate the hell out of alcohol in order to milk the money. They’re doing the same with gambling
Trust me Ontario government doesn’t care about its people, they just regulate the hell out of alcohol
But I was promised “buck a beer”…
Folks, folks, folks, folks…
AB government advocacy for local craft producers: Drake no
AB government advocacy for gambling and cannabis: Drake yes
The liquor regulation system in Alberta is prohibitionary already. What changes would you want to see?
Drake is a pedophile. Can you please consider using an alternate format like Geordi in the future to make that future a better place
My thanks for your and everyone’s consideration.
Aren’t those different Drakes? The article you linked is for some white guy, not the rapper.
Ahh fack. Thanks. I meant to change the article i copied but didnt copy the correct one. Thanks for being my editor, even if it wasnt your goal!
Much love. Ill go fix it with the correct article about Drake from degrassi and who is also the rapper, and the pedo shit he was caught doing that we know about
Edit for clarity(i hope)
Thanks! I had read the rapper drake articles so I thought I knew what you meant. Now I’ve learned about this other drake and like, wtf, are there no good drakes?
Too many horny musicians named Drake.
Most provinces have a minimum price for booze, that would be a good start
Alberta does have minimum prices for both wholesale as well as on-premise liquor.
Based on this image, I just assumed that they didn’t.
That jug is 160 units for $50. $0.31 per unit is a little low.
12.50 per litre??? That’s premium price not value
Idk where you are getting your vodka, but low value brands in the US (Ohio specifically for me because oir state liquor board controls the proce of all spirits state wide) cost about $12 for a handle. I would agree that this is too expensive for what it is, but premium vodka like Titos or Grey Goose cost $37 for a handle, which is over double the price per liter, and those are USD, not CAD. Admittedly it has been nearly a decade since i was in an LCBO, but i know Canadian alcohol prices are al2ays higher than American ones, which is why you can’t take alcohol north across the boarder.
Canada has alcohol taxes I think. Also those ain’t real dollars, but their local variant.
For the interested, my estimate is that $34.28 of this sticker price is liquor tax.
Federal excise is $13.93 per litre of absolute alcohol. Normally, AB provincial liquor tax is $13.76 per litre of volume, but this 4L is probably self-distributed by an AWP producer. They get reduced rates that scale based on the volume of production. Here, I’d guess it’s something like $3 per litre of volume.
Which actually makes it even cheaper.
Something like Smirnoff is about $30.00 for a 750ml bottle most places in Canada.
That sounds about right, I don’t buy much alcohol these days but when I did it would be around $12-15 for a 375ml of most bottom tier spirits. And I don’t remember any getting significantly cheaper/ml by buying a bigger bottle like you’d see with most other products.
Things to do in Edmonton. Jugs of vodka and Mind Bender. Oh wait. Just jugs of Vodka.
