I was scuppered in Sweden and Norway with the drink situation. Blew my mind as I'm English and obvs drink too much. And the price. We stayed out all night in Stockholm. Last tour it was light most of the night anyway. But I got a bottle of wine from the hotel next to the venue £50. !!!!I asked my friend . Oh grab a bottle of wine whilst back at your hotel
 He came back and said fifty quid mate. Holy shit. I drank it slow

Isn't buying alcohol from a hotel expensive in every country? even though yes, we have a bit higher alcohol tax than our southern neighbours. 

I will see what a bottle of wine goes for at the normal "pub" here if I drink out tonight.

I get a glass with half a litre beer (I guess that would be a "pint"?) where i drink for maybe 45SEK (£3,77 . $4,87)

I think when I went it was around £8 for a pint.  I think half litre is under a pint. But yeah Oslo . Oh my. A sandwich and coke and crisps was about £12 I nearly fainted.

That is good. Cheaper than here. Wow. Those systembolaget places were intresting to me . Having only one set place to buy drink and specific hours. But thats what i live about travelling to  see pj. I truely have experienced so much I can't even remember in many places. I'm very grateful. I live in a village and to see so many places and cultures has been the highlight of my life.

Alcohol is expensive most places in Canada.  The last time I was in a bar, about 4 years ago...a bottle of coors light was 7 Canadian.

It is some vodka? It does not exist in any Systembolaget stores so I would say it is not common here. Seems to be made in Sweden though. Made for the international market with the "swedish" thing as a sales argument is my guess then (?)-

Absolut Vodka is very common.

When I was in Philadlephia I saw some vodkas being sold as "russian" and "swedish" but really cheap at the bottom of the shelf. Hehe. Figured they were made in the US but just having "swedish" or "russian" slapped on them.

I've had 3 vegan meals this week
 And I've found some wonderful food.
Like fake duck. I call it f-uck.(see what I did there!) The most wonderful food and cheap. Also in the u.k we Greggs it's a food outlet that do pastry things and sandwiches and cakes. They have a vegan sausage roll o.m.f.g it's better than an actual sausage roll.

Say what??? $30 is the cheapest wine you can buy?! Am I understanding that correctly? If so, Sweden just fell in the ranks for me, lol.
