Bottoms Up! Canada's Boozy Past on Display

Not only does this exhibit look awesome, but it's free. "Bottoms Up! A Spirited History of Drink in Canada" examines the history of Canada's love-hate relationship with alcohol, and how "it has become a vital part of [Canadians'] social lives, political lives, health, media and popular culture." BlogTO recently checked out the show and had some nice things to say about it.
From the "outlandishly amusing" anti-booze propaganda posters to more serious historical anecdotes, "Bottoms Up!" provides a brief but satisfying study of Canada's boozy past. Though the drinking age in some provinces of Canada is now as low as 18, our friends to the north weren't always so enlightened and evolved. Before you head over to the Bovine Sex Club to get crazy drunk, stop by the Steam Whistle Brewing Gallery (255 Bremner Boulevard / Monday - Saturday, 12 p.m to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. / Until April 2) and pay tribute to your forefathers. Not all of them were so lucky.
