Transport costs might put a damper on that. Also, it sounds like it would also be subjected to import restrictions, even if it's the same country.

- jhugo 6y agoSmuggling is a thing, though. And transport costs tend to reduce as volume increases, and alcohol is a popular product...

- willowfine 6y agoPre-covid, this was a thriving and mostly legal industry. There are quotas on how much may be imported for personal consumption. Meanwhile, the Swedes go to Denmark for cheap alcohol, the Danes go to Germany, the Germans to Poland and the Poles to Ukraine. Thus Ukraine is the fixed point of the alcohol-flow function. This theorem was proven when I was a PhD student in a research group which contained a Norwegian, a Swede, a German, a Pole and a Ukrainian - we extrapolated the Danish connection point.
