all about alcohol

I was reading the daily news today and one thing that captured my interest and write my comments here in my blog .Reporter of the said news paper revealed the list of restaurant that serve illegal alcohol to their customers. Here you could not buy alcohol all over the store. They have special outlet "Systembolaget"the state-controlled company for the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Groceries could only sell out beer but not stronger alcohol than that. Restaurant could only sell wine and others if they have permission from the municipality otherwise they could just serve cola and water only. I was very impressed when I know that from the beginning. The laws seems good thinking that it is one way to protect the people. Young adults are not happy for this,what they did was smuggling alcoholic beverages.

In the restaurant they can only serve alcohol if they passed the permit requirement to allowed them to sell. But lot of restaurant here not follow the laws even if they know that it was illegal serving wine and beer without the authorized paper from the state of authority. They greedily take the weakness of young adults that mostly hang out in the night with friends. One bad thing that I felt concerned because most of the owner is immigrant people like me. It's sad that it looks like here,I understand that they need to earn money because they have families to feed and the tax here is high.

It is hard to say comments about this situation. Things getting confused sometimes because everybody loves to have a perfect country. Then here comes the laws that made for the benefits of the people and then it's we people who ruined it!
