I don't need beer so badly that I can't wait an extra day. However, I was on my way to the Island when I thought it would be nice to have some beer. I stopped at two Beer Stores in mid-town and they were both closed. Then I stopped at the one on Queens Quay and it was also closed.
Many people bring beer to the Island. I think it is against the rule but that rule is never actually enforced judging by the number of empty beer cans/bottles in the thrash.
