I have a friend who lives in Oslo. He makes regular trips to Sweden just to buy beer.

Sheesh. Why is that, some kind of sin tax?

ayupp ...

before the EU, we (ze schermans) used to hitch a ride on the ferry boats going to denmark/sweden just to sell booze over there ...

i made a small fortune during a week of roskilde festival selling a whole VW bus full of cans of beer for $2 each.

all the guys couldn't believe they were getting such a great deal on booze ...

btw. the cans cost me $0.39 a piece in germany ...

Well, being Norwegian I can speak to this. Having the beer be so expensive is the only way to keep us sober.
