When a Canadian talks about a two-four, (s)he means a case/box of 24
bottles of beer...unless the Canadian is referring to 'May two-four
weekend' which is the weekend nearest May 24 (Queen Victoria's birthday)
which is a long weekend in Canada (during which many two-four's are
consumed). Are we the only country that still celebrates this?
Have a good weekend.
