In Toronto, you can have a beer at the movies
This would be a disaster here in the States, bad enough some people act like jerks sober.
24 Hours Vancouver
TORONTO - Would you like a beer to go with your popcorn, or a glass of red with your Twizzlers?
Some moviegoers in Toronto now have those and other alcoholic options thanks to one-year pilot project to see whether booze and movies can mix without any trouble
The downtown Varsity cinema has had its liquor licence since Friday and has been selling alcohol in four specially designated theatres.
Cineplex Entertainment spokeswoman Pat Marshall says consumers had been asking for bar service in theatres for some time and so far, customer feedback has been positive.
She says there are no worries that drunken patrons will disrupt movies since there's a two-drink maximum.
A pilot project is also due to launch soon at a theatre in Oakville, pending the liquor licence going through.
Ontario is the second province to experiment with the idea. You can already buy a drink at some Alberta cinemas.

If you know how you can sneak a whole bottle of Wild Turkey into a cinema.... That's what some friends and I did when we went to see Fear and Loathing.... Hell my boss sneaks his thermos of gin and tonic into the movies all the time.......
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Not a new thing here. The theatre I go to sells beer which you can drink during the movies.

Odd, they don't sell beer in the theaters here in NYC at all. I wonder if they do in Long Island.

the Vic isn't exactly a theater....in fact, its a concert venue. They don't even air movies as far as I know. I lived on the 3500 block on sheffield and used to go there all the time...its like an old fashioned theater turned into a small concert venue.

The problem is that you'd still be in Canada.

Yep, here in Boca Raton they have a Muvico with premier VIP seating that serves full menu items and full bar. It's all upstairs balcony seating and the seats are reserved love seats. Nobody under 21 allowed either.
It's by far the way to see a movie if you have the dough. Each ticket is $21. this includes all you can eat popcorn. You have the option to purchase food and drink and enjoy in the theater.
