Booze in movies theatres? Such as beer, liquor, etc? No way! Send the media and politicians everywhere a strong, clear message – booze and going to the movies don’t mix! There needs to be some minimum standards, & this is one of them. Going to the movies is also for families. And I do not want to smell booze when I go to a film. Neither do I want to step in it, or sit in it. It’s not antiquated liquor laws that are “killing” movie theatres, it’s an antiquated Provincial government, led by someone who the public hasn’t elected. It’s municipal politicians pandering to anyone who cries loud enough, when there are many other, more urgent priorities. It’s escalating land prices in a market open to anyone with bucks, regardless of any conditions we might want to set. It’s the internet & big business running amok – selling you on a virtual existence made possible by your credit card, AND an endless supply of cheap labour from overseas. Labour that takes advntage of kids, seniors, the working poor, the disenfranchised. Say yes to reality. Say yes to decency and common sense. Say yes to community. That is all, carry on.

So true! Are people actually thinking of allowing beer and alcohol into theaters? I know that a few select theaters allow this, but they are generally catering to adults.
Thank you for stopping by! Yes indeed, there is a movement afoot by politicians in Vancouver BC, & also somewhere in the province of Manitoba evidently, to change liquor laws to allow theatres to sell booze.
