Lots of tax too!

Definitely agree with that one Nox, how a Swede can afford to drink is far beyond my comprehension. Them vikings must need to take out a second mortgage to have a "binge" drink.

lol, why? is alcohol really expensive?

(Just added that first ?, i think i can remove it and the question means a completely different thing! Crazy)

Swedish tax on booze is abominably high.

Yarr .. thats why i live in Germany now

First off, don't hold it in Sweden. Sweden is the worst place in Scandinavia for a night out due to the insane cost of drinks. Secondly, not sure why swedes tax their alcohol so much, but I heard it's due to during the winter months there is little to no sunshine at all up north and that was apparently a good reason to turn alcoholic. That's why the swedes have restrictions of how much you can buy there. And if you go to a bar it's ridiculously expensive. This is why if swedes want a good night out they come and infest the streets of Copenhagen every weekend like rats. Scandinavia is generally an expensive place to get drunk..that said, when I was in England, I'd need to spend atleast 50 pounds for a proper night out, and you'd pay the same in Denmark. And that WILL get you plastered. Trust me

Besides....nobody likes swedes.

Anyway.. might be able to arrange something in Germany (Bonn) if someones up?

or Rand - do it in Denmark?

Arius · 24th June 2007, 08:05 AM

Lol, well, I don't even like arranging UO events...but if people are up for it, I can give some suggestions as to where to stay cheaply and take you to a cool irish pub, but other than that, I ain't babysitting anyone

Surely we should work out where the majority of people live? and find a spot after that!
