The Ontario Public Health Association warns the move could lead to more consumption and other harms

The Ontario Public Health Association … cites multiple studies showing that increases in the number of places where alcohol can be bought in Ontario, and in other jurisdictions, have already led to more consumption and more of the harms that come with it, such as suicides, drunk driving, emergency-room visits and higher rates of cancer.

I enjoy booze, but I like that it’s hard to get. I don’t need any more encouragement to mess up my liver.

    American coming from all… I visited Toronto a few years back and was surprised at the way alcohol was sold, but it seemed to work! We have our own weirdness in New York State where wine and spirits need to be sold in liquor stores but beer and malted beverages are OK for gas stations and grocery stores.
