In case anyone is interested in Finland, a neighboring country's alcohol policies: Alcohol has 1.2 to 80% ABV, anything less is classified as low in alcohol and different rules apply. Anything above isn't meant for consumption. 5.5% ABV drinks are the strongest you can buy in a normal grocery store. It used to be 4.5% and the drinks had to be fermented, no liquor blends for example were allowed. These days they're allowed. Anything above 5.5% can only be bought from the state run monopoly, Alko, or ordered, which in itself is a complex issue and Finland is breaking the EU directives currently when it comes to that. Anyone over the age of 18 can buy alcohol up to 22% ABV, you have to be over the age of 20 to buy stronger. Selling >22% stuff to an 18 year old is illegal.
