Passengers are allowed to bring their own alcohol on board the VIA Rail Canada train. However, there are some rules and regulations that passengers need to follow. The consumption of personal alcoholic beverages is only allowed in Sleeper Plus class private cabins. This means that passengers traveling in Economy class are not allowed to consume their own alcohol.

Passengers are permitted to bring their own alcoholic beverages on board as long as they are for personal consumption only. They should not be sold or shared with other passengers on board. Passengers should also remember that each passenger is allowed to bring only one liter of wine or liquor, or 24 cans or bottles of beer, which must be packed safely and properly for transport.

It should also be noted that the crew has the right to inspect all alcoholic beverages brought on board to ensure that they are within the allowed limits and are safely packed. If a passenger is found to be in violation of the rules and regulations, their alcohol will be confiscated and they may be subject to fines or other penalties.

No, you cannot bring your own alcohol on board the VIA Rail Canada train. Provincial laws forbid passengers from consuming personal alcoholic drinks on the trains. Personal alcoholic drinks may only be consumed inside private sleeping car cabins on some trains.

If you are caught with alcohol, you may be fined or even arrested. It is important to note that this rule applies to all passengers, regardless of age. So, even if you are of legal drinking age, you cannot bring your own alcohol on board the train.

If you would like to drink alcohol on the train, you can purchase it from the onboard bar. The bar is open during certain hours of the day, and you will need to show your ID to purchase alcohol.

Please note that drinking alcohol on the train can impair your judgment and coordination. It is important to drink responsibly and to not drink and drive.
