So are they going to be stopping buyers from buying more than 4L in multiple containers? Seems like that will generate more waste, this isn't an eco-friendly policy.
it seems like their issue is the price. "not priced responsibly"
Eh, that's like 10 bucks more than if you were to buy 4 1 litre smirnoffs.
In Canada? And Smirnoff vodka(40% ABV), not Smirnoff ice(4.5% ABV)?

I'm looking at vodka, this is also in America. But the price isn't that much higher. I was wrong about it being 15. It's actually 16.99.
A 1140 ml Smirnoff In the same region as this store is $33.98, which makes the $49.95 cost for a 4L quite low.
Jesus christ yeah, ok. I should have narrowed my search by region.
Really puts into perspective how fucking easy it is to get alcohol in the U.S. Kinda scary actually.
