Canada
In Canada, liquor laws are made by the provinces and not the federal government.
In British Columbia, drinking in public and public intoxication are offenses. If an event is to take place in public with alcohol it must have a permit.
In Ontario, drinking in public and public intoxication are offenses. Having an open container in public garners an $125 fine. Public drunkenness garners a $65 fine and detainment until sober. If an event is to take place in public with alcohol it must have a permit.
While liquor laws are similar from province to province, the laws in the Territories tend to be substantially different. For instance, in the Northwest Territories public intoxication can result in imprisonment or detention in a medical facility for up to 24 hours (NWT Liquor Act).
