Ethanol tourism

Several breweries and distilleries – most notably Canadian Club – were established in the Windsor/Essex County area due to "dry laws" and the experiment with prohibition in the United States. Today, a large part of Windsor's tourism is still directly related to alcohol, with Ontario's lower drinking age and more liberal "exotic dance" regulations drawing countless 19- and 20-year-old Americans over the border for a legal drink.
