Planning a trip to the Great White North and want to enjoy a frosty beverage? Navigating Canada's drinking laws can be a bit tricky, as they vary province by province. Generally, the legal drinking age is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec, and 19 in the rest of the country.
But age isn't the only thing to consider. Each province also has its own rules about where you can buy alcohol. Some have government-run liquor stores, while others allow private retailers. Public drinking laws also differ; what's acceptable in a park in British Columbia might get you a fine in Ontario.
Be sure to check the specific regulations for the province you're visiting. A little research can save you from unwanted surprises and ensure you can responsibly enjoy the local craft beer scene or a classic Canadian Caesar!
