Canadians prefer H20 to a brew!
p2pnet news view | Off Topic:- StatsCan has come out with a finding that’ll horrify Bob and Doug McKenzie!
Canadians prefer a glass of water (shudder) over a brew.
“Water is the drink of choice for most Canadians, but children and teens are sipping a significant proportion of their daily calories, Statistics Canada suggested in a report released Wednesday,”" says the CBC.
What a bunch of hosers, eh?
Like, don’t they know what fish do in water?
But there’s hope.
“When it comes to alcohol, men between 19 and 50 more often choose beer as their alcoholic beverage,” says the Canwest News Service.
“The report also found that women are more likely to choose wine over beer. Only eight per cent of women between the ages 19 and 50 drink beer, but when it came to wine, 11 to 15 per cent per cent of those 31 and older said they drink.”

“Like, don’t they know what fish do in water?”
Not to mention otters, moose, beavers, muskrats, dogs, bears, cattle, insects, plus way too many breeds of waterfoul and other birds to list. Let’s not forget the effluent from towns and cities big and small. I live downstream from two major cities and you can’t eat the fish from the river due to the high mercury level. Lord only knows what others chemicals reside in them. Still, I’ve never gotten sick from drinking out of a fresh water stream in the backwoods of western Canada. Not sure I’d be willing to push my luck like that anywhere else in the world.
Anyways, interesting article. Cool to see Canadian heroes Bob and Doug get a mention here at p2pnet. Hate to say it but if I had to choose between beer and water, it would be water. I’ve never really cared for beer even though I could get it for free growing up (my father worked at a brewery for about a decade). Bourban on the other hand, mmmm…

That is just sad, Canada. Now we folks in the US will have to pick up the slack, I guess!

I think there should be a discount on lower-alcohol beer – 4% as opposed to 5%.

In all the yrs i’ve spent traveling in deep bush i’ve gotten sick only twice, and that’s from past toxic government operations in Ontario and Alberta
There are over 2800 such sites [that are known about] that our government refuses to clean up hidden away all over Canada, search them out before you go
Beer is the elixir of the gods, red wine is great antitoxin, it’s good to have a shot once per day [needing it or not] for longevity and good health
Make sure to eat about hand full of salt per day to keep you grounded and strong
Air out city water for chlorine for about an hour though, choline is a degreaser and will strip the protective layer from your digestive tract,
Never drink water with fluoride, it was used by Nazis to dummy down PPL and it has life long affects, just like DDT
Each stronger alcohol has specific affects on each person according to your genetic makeup, stay away from ones that make u into an idiot
