Yeah, the lowest legal price is either almost $28 or $28 and change, including deposit ($0.10/bottle or can). I remember a few years ago when our SAE Baja team went down to Tennessee. We still had to tie off a few loose ends on our vehicle (umm ... namely everything safety related besides the rollcage) so we went to Wallmart and picked up whatever supplies we needed. We saw a display of beer for like $15 and we just had to buy a few cases (not sure if it came from the sponsorship budget or not ... lol). The beer tasted like water, but got dang it ... it sher wuz cheep!
You can only buy beer at the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario, a 'crown corp' where the proceeds more or less go back into the province) or The Beer Store, essentially owned by a handful of Belgian brewers (who also control most US breweries). Well, you can also buy it at bars but you can never take it home from there ... lol
Our Baja car was a sight to see though. It seemed like it was about twice the size of anything anybody else brought. Others had like 6" of clearance, we had a foot and a half
. Two big problems though, first it was heavy. And second, the steering was weak and we hardly completed a lap all day long without it breaking on us.
