My Canadian correspondent informs me that in ice centers in Canada, beer has to be served with lids on, apparently because hockey-mad Canadians can’t help throwing their beer all over the place if something exciting happens. So some people drink beer with a straw, not just cranky Russians. She adds, “The Saddledome has a special sippy lid.”
