wait.
as in, every beverage has 50£ worth of pure ethanol added to it? if so..... no wonder Slavs are always depicted as drunk off their asses LOL
or is it a 50£ per litre of pure ethanol on each pallet of alcoholic beverages (eg... 2l of pure ethanol adds 100£ of tax to the pallet price)?
a 10% ABV half-litre bottle will have 2.5€ in tax added to its price for the ethanol content.
that is...... so incredibly -strange-.
was this added to encourage citizens to homebrew their own alchohol, or something? thats about the only reason I could think of...
homebrewing is very much illegal. this nation historically has a drinking problem.
Norway?
phew, dodged a bullet there, thanks danskjävel :P
i've read that before the alcohol monopoly laws there were about 200k distilleries in sweden which is one for every 25 people in 1910. even after the restrictions were put in place, the limit for a single meal was three schnappses ("två vita och en brun") totalling 15cl of 40-60% abv liquor. that was considered the minimum they could get away with implementing. and people still cheated the system to get double rations. i can only assume the norwegians went through something similar.
Edit: almost forgot to mention; wine was unrestricted during that time. no rationing.
"this nation"..? there's quite a few that use €... not sure which one you're referring to.
yeah sorry, i expanded on it in another reply to my comment. and i'm just using euro to make grasping the costs easier, not many people are up on the exchange rate of the krona :)
