I remember in being in (a US) college near the Canadian border, and since the drinking age in Canada was lower than in the US, a lot of times students would take road trips to Canada. When asked why you were going up to Canada, the *wrong* answer was "Oh, we're just going up for tourism/to drive around." Better was "We are going to the bars to get drunk!" But you would get waved right on through if you said "We're going to Rafferty's/Black Bear/Mintz." Specifics (and honesty) were definitely best.
n.b. This was even before 9/11
