Chris grew up the son of an Anglican priest in a city in Saskatchewan originally founded as a temperance colony. When he started drinking as a teenager, there were a lot of legal restrictions with respect to alcohol—a legacy of the city's founding. In 1985, when he went to Japan as an exchange student, he found a society that was much more permissive about drinking than was Canada at that time. In Japan, it seemed liquor was everywhere.
