This law is on paper - but as yet, not put into practice.. Still can't get headache tablets in your regular supermarket. Don’t get too excited!

Allow people to only buy expensive wine on a Sunday, and clear out all the alcoholics. And hopefully the wine-selling directly from producers will happen, it's completely daft to not allow it. I am waiting for the Catholic Church to release their own special condoms, stamped with a cross and with holes in it.

It took decades for us to take this step, and still people are afraid for the consequenses. Can we really trust the non-state shops? They need profits! Do they ensure the right competency among their staff? How do we handle the risk that they trick people into buying pills when they don't need to? (Well, one thing we do do - it's a rule that you can't buy pills by your self at your ordinary general store. There has to be an attendant there at all times.) And you mentioned wine. (Good, so I didn't have to do that myself. :) Swedes are a people with a history of hundreds of years boozing their heads off. The labourers got their pay in booze, fer chrissakes! We have enough of a problem as it is with alcohol. We tested allowing the citizens to buy alcohol when abroad, and taking it home with them, but they started buying so much that the opinion now is that we have to lower the legal quota drastically. If we were to allow people to buy alcohol on a Sunday, that would destroy the swedish stamina utterly! Still, some small things are happening. There are a few "cottage industry" producers in Sweden, fighting for their right to sell their wine at their very own cottage. The last legal idea is the suggestion to give them status as Systembolaget outlets (Systembolaget is the formerly state-owned alcohol sales monopoly) so as to find a possible way to formalize their future rights to sell. Anyway, why can't people be at least a little bit street smart, and go to Systembolaget in the beginning of the week instead of queuing up for an hour Friday evening! They wouldn't even have to wait then. After all, we do get paid monthly. And since you mentioned wine, I'll mention condoms. The condom producers don't really expect us to *use* their products, do they? Since we in Sweden have a state monopoly concerning alcohol because alcohol can hurt you, I expect in Ireland they have a state monopoly on condoms, since condoms can stop you from having children. I'm sure they would, if they were Swedes! :-) cheers/Rolf Paddy, you simply don’t understand the mindshattering angst behind that decision.
