Date: January 20th, 2025 3:34 AM Author: Blue box office marketing idea the difference is that Sweden strictly limits alcohol sales. Liquor stores are state-owned and operate at only limited hours. The selection can also be very limited. One twist is that if there's a particular brand/type of liquor you want, the government has to get for you somehow. You may have to wait but it will get a case of it eventually. After you pick up your order, whatever surplus remains gets put up for sale on the store shelf. This is one reason why the selection at these stores can seem a little odd. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5666331&forum_id=2Elisa#48567769) |
Date: January 20th, 2025 3:38 AM Author: Blue box office marketing idea Sweden has a government alcohol monopoly called Systembolaget for sale of all alcoholic drinks stronger than 3.5% by volume. The minimum purchase age at Systembolaget is 20 years, but 18 at licensed restaurants and bars.
Beer is legally divided into three classes. Class I (maximum 2.25%), called lättöl ("light beer"), is sold without restrictions (although shops often set their own age restrictions). Class II (up to 3.5%), called folköl ("people's beer"), is sold in regular stores, but with the minimum purchase age of 18. Class III, starköl ("strong beer", over 3.5%) is sold only in Systembolaget stores.[3]
Drinks are taxed by content of alcohol, more heavily than in most other countries. As of 2007, the tax on vodka (40%) is 200.56 SEK/liter, on wine (14%) at 22.08 SEK/liter, and on beer (4.5%) 6.615 SEK/liter. Beer with 2.8% alcohol or less is exempt from tax, except VAT.[4] The VAT is 12% (food tax) for drinks sold in shops having up to 3.5% alcohol, and 25% above that, and at restaurants.
Systembolaget has a strict monopoly status on alcohol sales to consumers in Sweden, except for restaurant and bars, where alcohol can be sold for immediate consumption (bottles must be opened and cannot be brought home).

The real alcoholics in Europe are the British. |

Russia today is a nation of cadet balls and armed professional killers trying to conquer Europe. No time for vodka when you are killing people in a cool uniform.
