- funnyfacts365 10y agoOh man. And then they drink 'till comma whenever they get out of the country, because alcohol it's so expensive in Iceland. How do I know? Married to an Icelandic woman, have seen my fair share of drunk Icelandic people when they come to Portugal on vacation, and do they get wasted...
- flukus 10y agoIt seems to scale too, when rich Saudis are on vacation...
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoIt's a very tiny country, population 300k.
- xiaoma 10y agoWhy does that matter? Does the size a country have much of an impact on how they deal with fat, sugar, caffeine or legal substances from a health standpoint? If not, then why would it affect illegal ones?
- Florin_Andrei 10y agoI would expect that the number of anything (including alcohol stores) would correlate with population size, no?
- mjolk 10y agoThat article is communicating a false impression -- 49 is not a very large number, but that's more then enough liquor stores ("vinbudins", similar in function to Sweden's "systembolagets") for a very small country. Additionally, that's just take-home liquor; Iceland has many bars and restaurants, as well as many places that sell low-alcohol beer.
- aylmao 10y agoThe point is not controlling liquor stores though, the point is making sure teens don't feel the need to consume alcohol
