One of my Nashville buddies did a tour in Scandinavia a few years ago. asked him if he’d had any really good beers. He said “No! Beer in a club is ridiculously priced. 7/8 bucks a bottle!. All taxes!

“Beer in a club is ridiculously priced. 7/8 bucks a bottle!. All taxes!”

The reason for this is that alcoholism is a real problem in Scandinavia, partially from the long, dark winters and Seasonal Affective Disorder, and partially due to the general hopelessness and futility of living under socialism. What I do like about many of those countries is that they direct those tazes directly to the treatment of those problems. Compare and contrast that with this country.
