OTTAWA — Canadians drink enough beer annually to fill nearly 1,000 Olympic swimming pools, while total alcohol sales approach the $20-billion mark thanks in part to the continued rise in wine popularity and price increases for many products.
Alcohol generated $19.9 billion in sales in the fiscal year that ended in March 2010, Statistics Canada reported Wednesday, which was up 2.8 per cent over the previous year.
