We were making jokes about the Swedish alcohol regulations, with state monopoly shops, I guess unique in the world. Here people may vote when they are 18, but have to be 20 in order to buy a bottle of wine. BTW, if any LUG-member comes to my little village on the Swedish West coast, I will be happy to offer a glass of wine from the special shop 'Systembolaget', if you let me know in advance, so I can buy it on the hours allowed by the state.
