what are the laws concerning open alcohol containers. is it illegal to carry around one of those metal flasks of alcohol in canada?
It's illegal to have open containers in your car.
I've never heard anything concerning flasks.
Also, alcohol laws are regulated by the provinces, not the feds.
So it'll be a little different everywhere.
anyone know what the rules are like in BC (or know of a site)?
Same all over pretty much. Nothing open in your car. In some places, you can get busted if your under 21 with non open stuff in the car.
watch it
Solution: invent a bottle you can drink from while it's closed.
