oh yeah, and happy birthday <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

yeah it sucks, but I have plenty of 21 year old friends, it really only makes a difference when they go bar hopping

at the same time, when one of my friends turns 21 it means i don't have an obligation to go buy them shots :P

18 for buying alcohol in bars in, but 20 for buying at the state owned shops that sell stronger stuff (~2.5% +) here in Sweden.

Only 16 years? Damn, that was one low age limit.

Wait, are you saying the bars sell beer that's under 2.5% alcohol? That is weak.

Sorry, I was a bit vague. At bars you're allowed buy strong liquor when you're 18 y/o, but if you want to buy outside of bars you can either buy at regular shops that only sell weaker stuff with an age limit of 18, or at the state owned shops that sell stronger liquor but with an age limit of 20.

Even still, the average beer here is 4% to 5% alcohol. And people say the beer is watered down in the US...

Those would be rated as strong bears here in Sweden. On top of that liquor is very expensive here, most vodka brands cost more than ~$47/liter.

Haha, yeah I can imagine. :P

I'm generally against state monopolies and huge taxes on products, but when it comes to alcohol in Sweden, I think everyone's better off with the high prices and limited number of stores and opening hours.
