Swedes and alcohol - thats something (alhohol no, sex yes)

What should I say. Its funny, reality is like fiction.

The Swedish labourmovements and some other fighted and proklaimed for a Swedish membership in EU. And was assured that the Swedish way sholud be protected againt the evil European behaviour against alcohol.

But they forgot the globalization and they forgot about Internet. I

n Sweden you can only buy spirits and wine and beer in special stores, Systembolaget. And the spirit and wine in Sweden are rather expansive and the taxes added to are not low either. But, but, but...

Today you can send for wine and spirits from the whole world.


Of course a lot of taxfriends dont like that. But now: a big loss for them, father EU has talked:
The Swedish alcohol monopoly is against law and guidelines for EU.

If you understand Swedish you can read more here.
And here too.

But, but, but, on the other hand: If you import wine and spirit from abroad: you have to pay taxes for that in your own country.

But the way:
What is American moviecensor censoring? Yes: kisses.
What is Brittish censors censoring? Yes: sex.
What is Swedish censors censoring in film? Yes: alcohol.
