    Okay I see now. It seemed to me (and honestly still seems now seems to me after re-reading the comments) that the comments I responded to were being said for Norway in general and to most Norwegians and not only in the context of the specific author of this blogpost. I take definite issue with some sort of judgement that enjoying alcohol is bad in general. But yes certainly for the original poster such recommendations aren't really appropriate.

>> Cozy up by the fireplace, pop a bottle of wine with a loved one. > So your suggestion for his problem is... alcohol? :-) To unixhero's problem? Cozying up with a loved one is a very nice way of spending parts of the winter. :-) Wine, fireplace, good tv show or good food. Mm. >> Prepare for xmas, visit the various xmas markets. > Where frequently the main activity is drinking mulled wine aka... alcohol? :-) Well, that would require a license. There's usually a pub close by, but.. that sounds more like Germany to me. ;) Not sure I've seen mulled wine with alcohol at Norwegian xmas markets. >> Spend the evening playing board games with friends, drinking and having it cozy by the fireplace again. > More alcohol? :-))) Yes. Absolutely.
