Rules are made to be broken, right?! Well, there are a few who don't smuggle. They brew themselves..... 
But smuggled booze are safer for the kids!! :l0l:

hehehe..... The two options:
I smuggling
II burning yourself
Or, if you're a girl (preferebly under 20; even better; under18), you can go to a bar with drunk men over 50, cause those are always willing to buy you booze, hoping for smth in return (those sick bastards!!!! ) Any smart girl, though, wouldn't go for that option. And I'm incredibly smart; I'm a genious!!

Errr, beware how FAR east you go to buy your alcohol Morg! We had such a "nice" class trip to Hungaria in our final year - and we could barely live on the mony we got, not that we had so few... but it seems capitalism sturck them hard! Especially the alcohol, every stuff was well out of proportion (well, except some Austrian beer, on which we mainly got drunk - Sorry Fleischwolf, I got different taste ), Tequila and Whiskey something about 50 wach bottle, and that as even outside Budapest... not to speak of the "huts" we lived in... or are we just used to the GREATLY advanced western style of living?!
Well, back to the alcohol and my point - the only thing affordable there with alcohol in was such potent stuff that you could enjoy it... with some litres of water in between every few sips ... and it would always taste like paint-thinner - there were three sorts of it, one that looked slightly yellow, then brown, and then something in between - bet that's where they got it from the same barrel... but that stuff made very drunk very fast... and it was cheap... and we were quite unreasonable pupils
But there are cheap places to buy alcohol in the East, yeah... just beware what you buy tho In any way, I buy my beer, mead or the likes just about 2km away from my home, unless all the swedes, norwegians and finns (Finns tend to go to Estonia for their alcohol?!)

I got 24 bottles of koskenkorva back into USA 2 years ago with no hassles. I walked very fast through customs.

The state here put really high prizes on alcohol to make us drink less, but it hardly works. And they make an incredible lot of money on it - taking half, or more, of the money we have to pay - so you'd not think that they really _want_ ppl to drink less........

@fjell... But what do they do with the money they make? In Sweden, Systembolaget is forbidden to make any profit, all the money that is made from the high taxes goes right to hospitals and the fight against the Swedish drinking habbits. The largest campaign against alcohol in the late history of Sweden ( 1945 -> ) is the "spola kröken" ( "skip the booze" )campaign in the early 80´s, it was financed directly by Systemet...They are fighting themselves in a way, and have no interests in selling more...

@Phyros: I don't know what they do with the money, but it is the state who runs Vinmonopolet, so I guess the money goes to the state budget..... Cannot say for sure, though. But, hehehe, that post was meant a bit ironicly; I don't really care about the prizes in polet; I mostly drink beer anyway; it's expensive enough for me. Sure I wouldn't mind lower prizes, but I wouldn't care to fight for it or anything. The prizes won't be lowered until the ppl learn to "behave". -And to tell you the truth, I think it's gonna be a ong time until that happends. Booze is fun, and ppl won't stop drinking to get lower prizes.
