No one ever got caught for drunk driving..there was no law in those days..or law enforcement..
It was the wild west..now long gone..
But at 18--19 it was magic....sneaking in the bar ..getting wasted and educated at the same time..
Oh wasted youth..sigh...

Sounds like the treks from Sassys to the River Club. Ontario had the 1am "last call", and Quebec was 3am. Made the drive through Pembroke and over the Bridge worth it. Big difference was the OPP waiting on the "Home Side" after 3am. Good times.....
