You'd be better off using a glass bottle for that. Anyone having to deal with sub zero temperatures knows not to put cold metal to your mouth.

Good point. I guess in cold climates, a small (1/2 pint) glass flask is better suited. You could get one already filled up at the liquor store and then simply re-use it as the climate warrants.

It's only a two flight from Toronto. It's also a two flight from Montreal. Oh, and Vancouver. And Saskatoon. Actually, every place in Canada seems to be two hours from Winnipeg.

Hank, I doubt you've ever been to the Winnipeg airport. It's certainly nicer than Calgary's though.

Dangerous behaviour with the booze there folks. Contrary to popular mythology, alcohol won't warm you up or help you stay warm. Among other effects, it dilates the small blood vessels in your extremities so your hands and feet may feel warmer temporarily, but you're actually losing heat faster than you would be without the alcohol.
Alcohol is for when you've been thoroughly chilled outside and are back in a warm place. Drinking outside in the cold is an invitation to hypothermia.
And I'll take the sharp dry cold of the prairies any day over the raw dampness of the wet coast. Nothing like climbing into bed and discovering your sheets are damp and clammy. 5 degrees in Victoria is far more unpleasant than -25 degrees here.
I've been to Calgary several times and I got their through your airport. Poorly organised, poorly built, the staff are rude...it's like a microcosm of what Calgary has become since money became more important than people.

....lol...bunch of BS.....the staff were probably rude cause you probably acted like a snooty twirp....and I guess here in Calgary they don't take it with a smile like them Manitoban's....Calgarians are no more rude than the average Torontonian the only difference is that in Calgary the airport staff can speak english...... :wink:
.....and you say you been to the city a few times.....what do you make of the city..compared to other Canadian cities and winnipeg..... I find peoples experiences quite interesting?
now is it getting COLD where ya are.??? Not here...... gorgeous warm topdown fall day........with the splendor of fall colors all around.
Ya wouldn't be needing a CHINOOK ......yet ,would ya??
