I just found someone at school whose going over this year. I'm debating hiding in her baggage to smuggle myself over. If not I'll might likely go next year because I want to head to Eastern Canada to travel for a bit and I figure I should time it with a con I could attend.

PS: @ one of naoise's previous comments: Ride a horse from Victoria to Toronto? umm.... maybe if I left like 3 months ago.

It only took the pioneers a few months to cross the Great Plains, and they were in wagons and had to make their own trails. If it was just you on a horse, I'm sure you'd make better time. Besides, it isn't till the end of May. You've got time. ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png)

well, horses would be the most awesome solution, but I suppose being smuggled in baggage is pretty cool too. So I say do it!

I don't know if there's anywhere TO get drunk, except in a hotel room. There's a lame sports bar up the street, but they kicked us out last year for drinking too much (?!?!?!?!) so they suck.

Kicked out for drinking too much!?!!
That's one of those times when you have to - without exception - leave without paying the tab.

my friend got kicked out of a pub in Inverurie (in Aberdeenshire) for being off his face. It's actually a law that you have to kick people out if they're obviously very inebriated, because otherwise you can get shit if they do something stupid if you continue to serve them when they're wrecked.

law-sclaw. laws are just guidelines for people too stupid to beat the system.

^lol. I like that reasoning.^
On a serious note, I don't believe in following the law if you disobey it in a responsible manner and disagree with it. For instance, underage drinking. I would go out for a social drink with my friends at seventeen, which was illegal, but I didn't get drunk, I would just rather have a Kopparberg than a Coke.

Yeah, the law makes sense from the standpoint of businesses covering their asses. It was sad at the time though. XD
Also, I believe alba's reasoning is why underage drinking under adult supervision is actually *not* illegal in many places. Total bans like that just never work out.

I was drinking in a pub, which is enough adult supervision, because there's the bartender who heard me and would have kicked me out if I was too bad (I'm a lifeguard and therefore a VERY loud drunk).
In Britain it's legal to give your kids alcohol with supervision from the age of five ^_^

What does a lifeguard have to do with being drunk? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Unless you mean you can yell louder? I have no issues buying drinks for underagers in foreign countries, especially Canada, as long as it doesn't make it back to here somehow. ^^

Yeah, because I'm a lifeguard, I speak loudly, ergo when I get drunk and speak more loudly than usual (as many drunks do) I'm very loud.
