Amazing how popular people that take a bottle to Norway can be!

I have had that experience too. Norway is a very beautiful country and I have always found the people warm and friendly but their puritanical attitude to alchohol takes my breath away so I could not see myself actually living there. I'd need a steady inflow of generous visitors to keep me going.

Well the State Monopoly on sales of alcohol over 5%, the limited opening hours and the proximity of shops (especially difficult in rural areas) must be frustrating indeed, let alone the taxes on it!
But if you live near the Swedish border it might be a little more tolerable.
