What does Queen Victoria and the Canadian 24 case of beer have in common? Apparently nothing. But for decades, some Canadians have made it their goal to drink as much beer as possible on her birthday.Agreed, the Canadian holiday in rememberance of the Industrial Queen is the only long weekend in May, and this Spring month being a prime opener to summer is generally the first month of the year to be warm and sunny. It can be understood that most party goers just want to throw off the shackles of indoor gatherings and enjoy the clean, outside air while they inbibe heavily in the devil's drink. It can also be assumed that many of these outdoor parties are particularly wild to show their denial of Vicky's dross view of appropriate behavior.
Either way, we are really not behaving any better than we did then and that sounds good to me.
Remember to have a safe 2-4, don't drink and drive, you'll enjoy the hang-over that much longer.
