Some places here in Norway, if a bar is small enough, the bartender cant hand you a pint of beer over the counter, but if he goes around the counter and gives you the beer, still sitting at the counter, it is perfectly legal. Go figure?? In addition, any type of alcohol ads is illegal, only low alcohol beers and wines are allowed. If a brewery makes soda in addition to beer, they cant even use the brewery's logo to advertise the soda. It is so strict that even the brewery's own delivery cars and trucks just barely can use the logo! All bottled wine and liquor is sold at state owned and regulated retail stores, luckily we still can buy as much as we want. It is a crazy country. PerL 88 Syncro |
