Are we sure this isn't Grun in a shades account?????

I live in Paris, in fact just three houses down the street from you. I heard that cry just now, so feel free to drop by when you calm down.

Systembolaget: Government-owned stores in Sweden that are the only places you can purchase beverages with more than 3.5% alcohol content. They are open either 5 or 6 days a week (depending on the city) and close around 6 pm weekdays and 1 pm Saturdays (again, depending on the city). No alcohol purchases can be made after the stores are closed and all purchases at the store are recorded by the government. According to anecdotal data, the government has been known to call you up after a large purchase, concerned about your health.

Helsingør: As a result of the aforementioned Swedish restrictions on alcohol, southern Swedes tend to hop on ferries to Danish cities to buy beer. Helsingør, popularized by Shakespeare as Elsinore (the location of Hamlet's castle), is a common such destination for Swedes in pursuit of alcohol breath. Thus, it's not at all unusual to witness boatloads of Swedish refugees making tourists to northern Denmark believe that Sweden is an odd place indeed.


Well if the beer costs about 10% of what it costs in Sweden then you understand the hysteria... A beer in Denmark costs 2 kronor and here in Sweden it costs 12 kronor...

The same hysteria exists in Denmark.. Only they dont buy their beer and alcohol there, they go over to Germany instead to buy their stuff.

The Norweigans do the same, they come to Sweden to buy their Alcohol...

Its like a never ending story...

Let me know if you get to Stockholm Grunsis, i can take you out for dinner and some drinks.

Have a good one!

:aok

Hehe....you dont get a license here either without having good vision or glasses. Its just a reminder i guess to those that may have had their vision deteriorated since their license was issued.

It may also have been an add campain for a chain of stores selling.......glasses :D

Oh, yeah, not to mention the mad rush to beat the cutoff time for  duty-free sin sales on ferry boats headed back to Denmark from Germany. Surprisingly, even with all this alcohol consumption, the Scandinavians always seem to manage to stay controlled.  A few years ago, I read a book by a flight attendant who recounted the story of running out of alcohol on a flight to Stockholm. The passengers were well-behaved and politely told the crew that the airline ought to plan the alcohol supply better, considering the destination.  The pilot eventually decided to break the rules and allow the Swedes to consume the duty-free alcohol they had bought on board.

In a related story, last summer, my Dane and I hopped in the car for a three-week trip around Europe to visit some friends in Normandy and my family in Croatia. (Actually, it was more like 18 days with friends and family and 3 days of fun, fun, fun on the autobahn).  Anyway, the trip back involved extensive calculations of just how many crates of his favorite Croatian beer the Dane could fit in the car without leaving me behind.  

"It's so cheap here!" - the Dane
"Yeah, but I'm not." - GrunSis

You Scandinavians are a charming bunch!
