Two years ago I started drinking. By then I had been abstinent for 41 years. That's how it goes when you hang out in churches and houses of worship. Dry living was perfectly fine, but internal searching made me change my mind.

In one column were all the arguments against To start with. I can easily catch 10-15 of them. Health, finance, solidarity, practical things like driving home etc.

In the second column I set up all the arguments to To start drinking. This column was almost completely empty. A bit of culinary curiosity, yes, and alcohol as social glue. Well, pretty good arguments for jumping on the alcohol bus. The arguments in support of abstinence were much better.

Then I started drinking.

We are humans, after all. Irrational, stupid and often guided by completely different things than the best arguments. But that's how it turned out. Today, I'm a minimalist in everyday life, but I can conjure up a fair amount of soft washing up liquid for a festive layer.

The most I Drinks, I became more skeptical people drinks.

No one said this was easy.

Toast to Cobos

At Sundance, the Conservative Party and the RRP – that is, those in power – want liberalization. Hairdressers, skincare salons and clothing stores can apply to serve beer, wine and spirits. Working hours will be more generous, and culture and sports will have new opportunities to stream. There is no consultation round, just pure politics.

Doesn't this sound modern, free and deliciously forward-leaning?

A bride who gets half a glass of champagne at the hairdresser is not a disaster. For a colleague to drink a pint or two while Sandnes Ulf are playing 0-0 against Ravos is not in itself a big deal. The client who leaves the podiatrist with the softest feet in the world – and a blood alcohol level of 0.7 – is no one in isolation. Big deal. When I see what some people buy in clothing stores, I think that both the seller and the customer must have at least a 16 blood alcohol level. And a little kobos? Is it that dangerous?

Sandnes deputy mayor, Christopher Birkedal (Frp), was absolutely right when he said people were unlikely to go to the hairdresser to get drunk.

Most people I know go to the hairdresser to get their hair cut. According to my sources, this should be a fairly common explanation for a visit to the hairdresser.

But how dangerous is it with one the third Perm braces?

Many streams, one great river

There are no small streams that cause serious flooding. When blue politicians want a free pass to limit alcohol in Sandnes, the question is whether they are minimizing the impact of small streams on the big river.

The challenge is the total. that it always The score is difficult, clumsy, and complicated, and it disrupts the party and the good atmosphere. Here I wonder if the Conservative Party and the FRP's desire for freedom, equality and barbarism does not take into account the boring facts, the ones that lie behind Norwegian alcohol policy.

The municipal manager is skeptical. Most opposition parties, with the exception of Livin Privata Luca Finster, are skeptical. The gut feeling says people are divided the same way. “Is it that serious then?” -Gang and Gang “Should there be alcohol everywhere?” As a spinal reflex.

Høyre and Frp already have a dark blue project underway in Sandnes. No one should be particularly surprised by this, because this He is Two pieces blue that a promise Blue politics. They want to privatize, be business friendly, open up, simplify and release thousands of bottles. With KrF on the team, this would never have happened.

Health – not commerce

In Norway, alcohol is a health policy. Cava, Guinness and Hooch (a 90s favorite in Hommersåk) belong to the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Politically, alcohol is primarily health, not commerce.

The aim of Norwegian alcohol policy is to reduce the negative consequences of drug abuse on individuals, third parties and society. The goal is no To promote sales. Norway has a restrictive alcohol policy, compared to most European countries. The state simply wants you not to drink anything in particular. It's corny and boring and a bit moralistic, but it's also caring. Maybe not for you, but for the 175,000 to 300,000 people who struggle with alcohol and their loved ones.

It's great and invigorating to have a hair straightener at the hairdresser, but it's also great for many that their mothers don't come home from the hairdresser with their blood alcohol levels at 1.1, because the mother has a little too mostly 1.1 per thousand.

Alcohol brings with it neglect, fear, accidents, violence, birth defects, ruined lives and terrified children. It also brings with it some wonderful festive parties, unforgettable 40th birthdays, and such wonderful stories about the Friday when Oystein went to Madam Aase and woke up on a houseboat in Copenhagen on the Sunday, and to his great surprise was engaged to Lilja from Düsseldorf.

Ayia Napa

Alcohol is a legal product that we do our best to prevent people from using. To achieve this, we have a fairly strict licensing system, liquor store system, advertising ban, age limits, and a tax policy that makes foreigners pay attention.

We are in Norway Many people drink, but we drink less than in many other countries. An effective way to increase consumption is to increase supply. Perhaps the round of consultations refers specifically to this matter. Alcohol, in general, is our most harmful drug. It's the boring truth that stands in stark contrast to the festive effect that alcohol has in a party atmosphere.

After I ended up completely in the kitchen, I buckled down! – Become more skeptical about the free version. Alcohol is a beast that, unfortunately, must be kept under strict control. You can't get such reins from the business world, those who profit from sales. You can take control of those who are negatively affected, for example by asking them to Sandnes becomes Ayia Napa.
