Here's what I want to know:

5% of all deaths from diseases of the circulatory system are
attributed to alcohol.

15% of all deaths from diseases of the respiratory system are
attributed to alcohol.

30% of all deaths from accidents caused by fire and flames are
attributed to alcohol.

30% of all accidental drownings are attributed to alcohol.

30% of all suicides are attributed to alcohol.

40% of all deaths due to accidental falls are attributed to alcohol.

45% of all deaths in automobile accidents are attributed to alcohol.

60% of all homicides are attributed to alcohol.

Why aren't we taxing the crap out of alcohol consumption?

ANSWER ME HENRY WAXWORM!!!

Have you ever bought booze up here?

I understand that some have hidden as much as thirty cases of Trinidad
light in a fishboat.. [Some bit of French territory off NS sells booze
cheap]. Grampa said it was better in his day: The Mounties stayed away
from the parties. The rum was better, came in bigger bottles too, and
the Revenue cutters were slow.

Probably St. Pierre et Miquelon just south of Newfoundland.
If you have a sailboat you can trace this route in 2010. The race is held
every 2nd year...the off years for the Marblehead/Halifax race.
