Hi,
I know some of the people here are from Finland and/or from other scandinavian countries and I just had dinner with someone who said he went to Finland a few years back and that he found it really expansive and hard to find alcohol there. He said there's very few places where alcohol is sold and they have alcohol only shops where people need to buy their alcohol from and that it was really expensive.
I was just wondering how exactly the situation is?
In my case (Belgium and the UK), alcohol is readily available in any corner shop, night shop, grocery store, superstore.... Lower-quality alcohol is dirt cheap and is bought by most students while higher-quality alcohol like real Champagne, Goose Vodka,... are more expensive and bought by richer individuals, usually adults (or rich adults' kids)...
