Ahhh....! Canadian Club!! In my drinking days this was simply referred to as CC. We would blast down to Spokane and smuggle back a few bottles into Canada as you guys only paid about 1/3 the price that we did.

There were two things I really liked about the U.S.:

1- cheap CC.

2- you put the Texas in "Texas Micky".

This meant that we could have "Kegger" parties with CC instead of beer!!

Canadian beer might be higher in octane than U.S. beer but it sure can't compete with Canadian Whiskey!!
