It varies according to the province or territory. For example:

"Regulation and Licensing Requirements

The City of Toronto’s food premises inspection and disclosure system, DineSafe, requires all food establishments to:

1) Meet or exceed all of the requirements and standards in the Ontario Food Premises Regulation 562, as amended, made under the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

2) Comply with the new requirements under Toronto’s Municipal Code 545-Licensing.

Ontario Food Premises Regulation

All food premises operators in the Province of Ontario must, by law, follow specific requirements in order to operate a food premises. The Ontario Food Premises Regulation (562/90 as amended), indicates the minimum standards for food temperatures, food handling, sanitation, dishwashing and personal hygiene practices.

The Food Premises Regulation must be followed in any establishment where food or milk is manufactured, processed, stored, handled, displayed, distributed, transported, sold or offered for sale, excluding private residences."

Compare with:

"This is the law of the Yukon, and ever she makes it plain
‘Send not your foolish and feeble; send me your strong and your sane;
Strong for the red rage of battle; sane, for I harry them sore;
Send me men girt for the combat, men who are grit to the core;
Swift as the panther in triumph, fierce as the bear in defeat,
Sired of bulldog parent, steeled in the furnace heat.
Send me the best of your breeding, lend me your chosen ones;
Them will I take to my bosom, them will I call my sons;
Them will I gild with my treasure, them will I glut with my meat;
But the others—the misfits, the failures—I trample under my feet."

Any further questions?

I suppose it’s better than if another appendage had gotten frostbite then preserved for your drinking pleasure.

I can’t imagine manly men would drink any shot which had touched that.

Bachelorette parties, though…

Drinking these concoctions seems like one of those things most associated with guys.

Manly men? Don’t tell that Tom guy from Finland.

Really puts the “cock” in “cocktail”.

Sure, these guys exist.

And I’m sure there’s some in super-rural Canada.

I wouldn’t guess this is the kind of bar where they’d want to be open about their preferences.

Then again, I wouldn’t have thought I’d need to be explicit about all this for the gag I posted.

What puts the “ape” in the apricot?

Only the manliest men can drink that cocktail and still be straight. It’s a right of passage.
