Meanwhile in Sweden, the National Board of Health and Welfare changed their guidelines in regards to drinking:
"Risky drinking now means drinking any of the following:
10 standard glasses or more per week.
4 standard glasses or more per drinking occasion (so-called intensive consumption) once a month or more often."
True story!

It's actually quite hard to buy alcohol in Sweden. You can't buy it in a regular supermarket you have to go to a special shop, that is open at different times, etc. And it's expensive.
The result of this is that all drinking Swedes just have a huge storage of alcohol at home though.
They also frequently drive all the way to Germany (through Denmark) to shop duty-free drinks in bulk.
Scandinavian countries have "pant" on bottles and cans, meaning you pay extra for the container, but get the money back when you return it empty.
