Wine
Norwegians drink more wine. The consumption of wine in Norway has increased from 31 million liters in 1995 to 61 million liters in 2005. On the average, this means that every adult in Norway drank 38 bottles of wine last year.
Is this a problem? Not necessarily. It depends on how this wine is consumed.
However, the Norwegian authority AKAN demands higher prices, less bars and less wine comments in the media. This would supposedly make Norwegians drink less wine.
What is this about? Raising children? Sadly, no. This is about making it harder for adults to get themselves a glass of wine. I must've missed something. When did government become my substitute parent, and when did I become a child?
