The averange supermarket can sell booze, as long as it's under 3,5 volume %. Otherwise it's sold by the state (to outrageous prizes, that's why it's popular to go to Germany to buy booze ).
That's just it, Ube. A lot of beers in other countries are even "stronger" - contain more alcohol. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> In Belgium those are "table-beers". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Beers brewed to drink with your food, like water, soda or cola. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
But you shouldn't feel bad about the laws in Sweden. Like I said... you're among the most healthy people. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And it wouldn't hurt if all European countries got so strict. Only last week there was an issue on increased alcohol abuse among women in Belgium.
