Probably right!

4) Use plastic bags to keep my feet dry - Banned
Wow
This is one of the most redundant slices out of the shit-cake we've had to eat in a while... Banning higher alcoholic contents won't solve anything. If people want to get drunk, they will. Period. You're only going to make them buy more of it, and increase social dissatisfaction by doing so.

I believe you've fallen victim to my refusal to use emoticons to convey my facetious tone. For that I apologize.Originally posted by speedog
So because I am not outraged means I am yellow bellied - hilarious, little do you know of me and how I've challenged the authorities on many things in the past and even now. Never the less and back on topic, I don't drink the stuff and kudos to those that do (my choice of alcoholic liquid refreshments is towards the dark ales and stouts). My suspicion, however, is that we'll see it back on the shelves with a higher tax structure in place - note it's just a suspension of sales right now.
So strong beer hasn't been banned yet, sales have just been suspended...
Link to story - appears that the media has introduced the word "banned".CALGARY – Because the Canadian government has classified beer with an alcohol content in excess of 11.9% to be a spirit, the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission (AGLC) has suspended sales until a report is brought before the board, the Toronto Sun reports. "We would need to make sure we're in line with federal (regulations)," said AGLC spokeswoman Lynn Hutchings-Mah. "I don't have a date of when that would be." Alberta sells roughly 1,600 brands of beer, and less than five exceed 11.9% alcohol. "Your average beer is about five (percent)," said Hutchings-Mah, noting she couldn't say what beers will be affected. Under the ban, beers already on store shelves can remain there until purchased but cannot be restocked until the AGLC issues its decision.
Never the less, this is another cash cow that the province probably won't let slip out of their hands and if anything, strong beer will be back with a higher price.
Will fuck off, again.

Alcohol consumption is not banned, neither is drinking a spirit, beer or wine. Percent alcohol is not governed but they want to apply an arbritrary rule that decides for us what percent beer we drink?
makes absolutely no sense. Kind of like control mongering.

Don't make a new policy just for the sake of appearing to be doing something productive."

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't even go for the super strong beers, but it's plain as day that they're doing it PURELY to seem like they're working hard to accomplish something. Same as banning caffeinated drinks, and all those dicks who want to get rid of Mike's Hard because it is "specifically designed to look appealing to kids".
Fucking useless knee-jerk nanny state reactions to a dumb problem. When did it become alright to treat people like such children?
Did they give any notice or was it instantaneous?
Where's the Beyond CSI team? I'm surprised there's not already phone numbers and office addresses.

I emailed them with contempt. I don't even drink, and I'm outraged.
No it falls under the "spirits" catagoryOriginally posted by ZenOps
Is 12% and more still considered to be beer?
This is no big deal, just have to give the manufacturers/importers some time to get their documentation corrected
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.
Hopefully there is some egg on their faces due to the outrage and the ludicrosity of this incident and this gets resolved soon.Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to submit your comments. Please be assured your comments will be provided to the AGLC Board when this issue is brought before them again in December.

Spirits are required to have 20% alcohol. And its how the alcohol is produced that classifies beer, not how much alcohol it has. Spirits are distilled, beer is not.Originally posted by legendboy

Thank you. Copied them all as well. Got my response, looks like all but 3 were legit given the way her response formatted their e-mails.Originally posted by codetrap
I figured the email addresses must be pretty standardized, so I "generated" the whole board.
Nice job!
