I've already had two alcohol liberation posts today, so may as well make it a third. Through the completely awesome Free Our Beer blog, I discovered a website devoted to documenting much of the history of the Ontario government's creepy liquor control board. I'm glad they aren't as invasive as Punched Drunk shows they were, but remember, it is still completely absurd that we have this government liquor monopoly in a liberal democracy. So cheers to Punched Drunk for their excellent work. If this site doesn't creep you out, there is something wrong with you.
The site apparently comes from a book, with the same name: Punched Drunk - Alcohol, Surveillance and the LCBO 1927–1975. I may have to seek out this book.

So, uh, have you been drinking today?
I can't afford to without happy hours, the beer tax and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario! :)
I just bought 24 cans of regular Budweiser at 13.99 US$ in the U.S. today. Enough said.
