Canada has alcohol taxes I think. Also those ain't real dollars, but their local variant.

For the interested, my estimate is that $34.28 of this sticker price is liquor tax.

Federal excise is $13.93 per litre of absolute alcohol. Normally, AB provincial liquor tax is $13.76 per litre of volume, but this 4L is probably self-distributed by an AWP producer. They get reduced rates that scale based on the volume of production. Here, I'd guess it's something like $3 per litre of volume.

Which actually makes it even cheaper.
