Fits all medical definitions, along the way: You have to up the dose in order to maintain the effect (tolerance development), you don't mind social desintegration (*whah?, I don't care about what others say..), you spend all your money on it ( ), it gets you into inebriated states - *flying high, guess what that is??!!, you'll never be satisfied, know that, but keep going (..ok, it could be a neurosis, from this point of view..) aaaand, in my case: You'll start talking to yourself and chuckling about your own actions..

You put the finger on a weak spot - getting decent Lipos @ acceptable prices is sort of an issue in CH.. I'd really like to get some tattus, but there's noo way to have them sent across the border, and retailers don't have them, neither want to order them for you.

Tell me about it. I live in a country where you can't buy a bottle of wine on a Sunday or public holiday because the government runs all the shops that sell alcohol and deliberately makes the opening times inconvenient.

It seems someone forgot to tell several of these states that prohibition ended a long time ago :p they're like "yeah, well we're still staying partially prohibition" because they can...

I couldn't even get a beer at my hotel on a Sunday, but if I walked to the other side of the street, that was in a different parish and all the bars and liquor stores were open as usual. Quite a bizarre experience for a visitor!

Quite a bizarre experience for a visitor! ..I don't get it, really! - I know about these "weird" laws pretty much everywhere, but upon closer inspection, they're just leftovers from our feudal past. I understand a king not giving a rat's ass about his taxpayer's fate, leaving them to starve on the fields in order to finance his new hermelin-coat, he was just an inbred turd, but hey!, that was in the darkest times of European history, the middle age!! It seems to be like Einstein said: "I know of two things being infinite, the universe and human greed, but I'm not so sure on the first one.." It appears to be a question of character and not political belief. Especially left-wing politicians develop astounding ways of sporting "humanistic rhethorics" while shamelessly feeding on the work of others. I don't approve terrorism, but I fear it being nature's counterforce to hypocrisy and bigotry. 'nuff said, or I seriously heat up. Distilleries are really nice things, though, it's part of my Italian culture.. As kids, we were served red wine diluted with lemonade in wide, shallow pottery bowls as a tradition at social events, and you just couldn't drink from that unless you'd be really focused and - sort of - sober. Pretty neat indicator, looking back.. • Posts: 2,286 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,527 in 995 posts Likes Given: 1,881 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 72 Sweden has a dark, Lutherian heritage. Much of the paradoxical attitude to alcohol here and in Norway and Finland stems from that time. Of course, these days, the fact that the government can earn a small fortune from the alcohol monopoly ensures that you'll never get any Swedish government to contemplate abolishing it. They only ever frame discussion about it in terms of limiting supply to help people not to drink too much. Oh, and they also run all the gambling in Sweden as a monopoly as well. Double morals are an art form here! Posts: 227 Threads: 35 Likes Received: 202 in 116 posts Likes Given: 278 Joined: Mar 2017 Reputation: 5 unseenSweden has a dark, Lutherian heritage.
