Canada has updated its alcohol consumption guidelines for the year 2023 and according to the new guidelines, it should be Dry January in the country as it is the only risk-free approach. According to the government-backed guidance, if you want to drink at all, then two drinks maximum each week are deemed to be low-risk.
The latest advice is a steep drop from the previous recommendation of 2011 which allowed a maximum of 10 drinks a week for women and 15 drinks for men.

The oxygen bar at Gold Tan & Sunset Spa in Mississauga has been closed since the pandemic began.

Only one type of business is still not allowed to open in Ontario-Oxygen Bar
The oxygen bar is one of the first things Julie Baker sees when she walks into her spa. Since the beginning of the pandemic, its chairs have been empty, the lights have gone out, and customers have been blocked by homemade signs of closure.
“It looks a little sad, but this is how it must be kept,” said Baker, who runs the Gold Tan & Sunset Spa on the border between Mississauga and Oakville in Ontario.
Bill Campbell of the Ontario Ministry of Health said in an email that oxygen bars like Baker are the “only companies that need to be closed” in the current Ontario reopening plan.
