description On 1 March 2018, a 14‐year‐old girl was found lifeless in a stream behind her high school after having consumed FCKDUP—a beverage containing 11.9% alcohol and sold in 568 mL cans—during her lunch hour.

We suggest that the Canadian government uses the work surrounding the alcopop tragedy as an opportunity to make significant amendments and revisions of federal alcohol regulations.
