don't have any

got beer now

 

[christiancollegegirl]

Beer? Yuck, how can you stand that stuff?

 

[maverickwolfe]

it's an extremely acquired taste

 

[christiancollegegirl]

I don't want to aquire it. The smell alone is enough to turn me off

 

[wwjd_kilden]

Well, it@s cheaper than drinks when you go out and it´t perfect with chilinuts

does the government own all the beer in norway? or is that just a sweden thing..

 

[wwjd_kilden]

what do you mean by own?

umh. no? They sell it in ordinary grocerystores (if it has below a certain alcolhol content), the goverment controls what times they can sell it (not ofter 20.00, and not on sundays).

hm, did that answer your question?

 

[Sharp]

oh ok. why not on sundays? is norway pretty religious?

when i was in sweden my friend says the government owns all the liquor stores. i thought norway would be the same.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

kinda. A few years back everything was closed on sundays (cept gas stations). now wwe hve some sunday open grocery stores and cd stores (!), so I guess it won't be long... Norway is founded (after the christening of the vikings ) on christian principles yes. but we are loosing them very fast.

ooooh. Liquor yes... thats the stuff with higher percentage. Yup, they do, but some beer and some beverages with low alcohol percentage is sold in stores (Mack, Smirnoff Ice i.e.)

 

[maverickwolfe]

government owned liquor stores...hmmm. that's a new concept. very strange.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

well, they think (quite rightfully) that people aren't responsible enough... in norway most teens drink to get drunk, not to enjoy the drink...

 

[christiancollegegirl]

What's the legal grinking age in Norway? I know in Germany it's 16.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

16 to drink, 18 to buy... (illogic, yup, that's norway) 20 to buy liquor

 

[christiancollegegirl]

Wierd. It's 21 to drink or buy, and 18 to smoke. Drugs are illegal at any age. What about over there?

 

[wwjd_kilden]

yup, only tobacco (18) allowed here too. I thiiiiink you can have some listed drugs as medications, but mostly everything is banned. There's lots of it though, especially cannabis, extacy and heroin

 

[christiancollegegirl]

yeah, drugs are everywhere here too.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

wonder why alcohol and tobacco/ nicotine is legal when nothing else is...

 

[christiancollegegirl]

I don't know, but that's a good question.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

we should make a conspiracy theory

 

[christiancollegegirl]

sure. We'll say that the secret govornment societies are running the drug trades.
