Owners check .age cards
from page 1 .
Bar managers or owners interviewed in:
the area all agree that they do check for the
age of majority card, now. more correctly
called the Ontario photo card. In small •
towns it's not hard to catch underage
drinkers because as at least one owner says,
"everybody knows everybody".
Exeter Inn owner David Urlin says the on-
ly time it's difficult to check for the cards is
during summer when tourists are'travelling
through town.
All bar operators agree that Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights are their
busiest times, mostly because that is when
entertainment is provided.' For entertain-
ment, disc jockeys spinning commercial
rock music are more and more popular in
this area. There are a few spots which.
feature country music.
Only the manager at Bruno's in Goderich
says summer is busier than winter, because
Goderich is more of a tourist town than
others in the Huron -Perth area.
Summer is also busy for the• Brewers'
Retail outlet in Goderich.
"The May 24 weekend and" Labor Day
weekend are the worst," says Brewers'.
Retail'ernployee Randy Hamilton.
He says more six packs of beer are sold in
the summer than any other time. That tells
him people are picking up just enough beer
for themselves for the weekend.
The, outlet in Goderich sells about 100
cases of 24 bottles a day. Hamilton says that
figure is fairly constant.
A spokesman at the outlet in St. Marys
says beer sales so far this summer have not
been as great as the sales during the hot
spell in. 1983.
"We were really busy then," he says.
"It's go, go, go all the time in the sum-
,./
mer," says Elliot German;. manager of the
Mitchell Brewers', Retail,.
Hamilton also expresses concern for the
Liberal government's election pr mise to
sell beer in independent grocery stores.
"There will be less control. The kids work-
ing
in the store have to be of age (19). I can't
see them handling beer the way we do. Sell-
ing six packs is the only way it could go," he
says.
German says the price of beer has had
some effect on sales, mostly right after a
price hike. A case of 24 bottles is $15 plus a
deposit of $3.40. .
"People still buy it, though."
Practically in one voice, the bar operators
say it is unfair or wrong for the courts to lay.
partial' blame on them for what a drinking
driver does " after leaving their
establishments.
"A lot of people have alcohol in their
- cars,". says O'Reilly, noting bar operators.
can't be responsible for the alcohol consum-
ed by customers either before or after leav-
ing their bar.,
Urlin says -if he or his staff feel a customer
has had too much to drink they offer him a
Tide home.
' "If he refuses four or five times, then
we've done everything we can. We've gone
that far," he says.
A newly formed hospitality committee in.
Goderich has worked at having the local
taxi companies extend their hours to meet
the . closing times of the drinking
establishments. Most places however, say it
isn't uncommon for someone from the hotel
to'give the drunk customer a ride home.
"You can go past here on a Friday or
Saturday morning arid it isn't uncommon to
see 10' cars in the parking lot," says the
owner of the Exeter Inns
