[Defiance]

Ohhh wish I could go .

 

[Erik Erna]

Whats the word...Oh yeah, FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Moved from Chicago, and even if I could make the four hour truck, my girlfriend is only twenty. So it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun. This needs to be Canada man, where the drinking age is eighteen.

 

[Undefined]

The drinking age is 19 here. But in Quebec it's 18.

In C.R. it's 18. But hey, you don't have to take her. Or you can take her, and leave her outside ah hahahahaha .

 

[Ond]

In Portugal it's supposed to be 18. Or 16. Maybe not. I don't know. Bah, nobody cares about that anyway. You can drink even if you're 13. It's a cultural thing.
And it's real drinking, not like in scandinavian countries. You can drink in the streets, at 4am, in front of the cops. Maybe they'll even join you.

Anyway, don't forget to tell us later how the party went.

Well I do think Scandinavians drink a lot, but it depends on the circumstances. Ah hahaha but that of the cops joining you is awesome, though it says a lot of things about security .

 

[Ond]

Yeah, I know scandinavians drink a lot, I know a few. But they have to drink too early, since it's illegal to buy/sell booze after a specific hour. And they can't drink on the streets. That sucks.

 

[Agah]

They stop selling alcohol at supermarkets in Norway at 20.00 from Monday to Friday, and at 18.00 at Saturday. At Sunday it's impossible to get alcohol. All booze and wine is sold by government controlled shops, and they close earlier than the supermarkets that only sell beer, cider and alcopops. Pubs stop serving alcohol at 02.00.

When I go drinking we usually sit around at some guys place drinking from 15.00 to 22.00, then we go to a pub, and then maybe we'll go to an after-party (nachspiel) if we're not asleep in the streets.

 

[Azzor1911]

That's too bad... I don't really see what they're trying to achieve with all those rediculous rules. Alcohol is not the problem, never has and never will, it's people.

Another weird thing I heard is from my friend, who was in Sweden a few years ago, and went to a Soilwork concert. They didn't even have beer, but instead there was some guy behind the bar with a fridge, selling only soft drinks, such as Cola and Sprite. haha

It was probably a concert for people under 18. Some times they let in underage kids and have them in an alcohol-free area, but other times they just keep the venue alcohol free.

 

[Azzor1911]

No way...
You gotta be kidding me, they actually restrict kids to some "alcohol-free" area at some concerts? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!!

 

[A1a23]

Holy shit, I happen to live in Chicago! I so need to go to this.

 

[Qu Appelle]

Holy shit, I happen to live in Chicago! I so need to go to this.

Yes - then you need to tell us how it went!

 

[A1a23]

I shall.

 

[Naglfar]

If I'm not teaching this semester, I'm so gonna be there.

 

[Erik Erna]

The drinking age is 19 here. But in Quebec it's 18.

I lived outside of Edmonton in 2005-2006, it was eighteen there. Or my friends were drinking illegally at any club we went into, I don't know.

 

[Rivfadír]

Just wanted to say, that all those silly rules you people claim are the law in Scaninavian countries, do NOT count for Denmark.

In Denmark, you can buy everything thing from soft cider to hard liquor at any time, and at any day, if you're near a store that's open. You can always get booze at 7-11.
And until a couple of years ago, we didn't even have an age limit for buying alcohol. Everyone could do it. Nowadays you have to be 16. And 18 to get tobacco, we didn't use to have any limit for that either.

In Norway, Sweden and Finland (not Scandinavia, I know) you can only get booze for ridiculous prices in the government-controlled liquor stores. I Finland, you even have to be 20 or 21 to buy real hard liquor.

 

[Drummer Dave Kinkade]

Ha, this is going to be fun. I didnt know there was a thread until now. There will be giveaways at the party too including shirts and signed (by me) promos of Universal. Bring your friends.

Yeah, it's always a shock seeing vodka at gas-stations in Denmark. You have to be 20 to buy hard liquor in Norway too.
