Скачать или смотреть Finland Locks Up the Booze Before 9 AM! 🇫🇮🔒

Ever wondered why Finland keeps the booze under lock and key before 9 AM?

The popularity of beer as a daily drink was explained by the fact that it was cleaner than plain water since beer water is boiled. It was considered healthy overall, and additionally, it was an important source of energy.

In what situations was beer then drunk in the 17th century? The short answer to that is: in all situations. Beer and ale were part of everyday life and celebration, work, and even church ceremonies. Drinking beer structured the day and the yearly cycle.

In the morning, beer was consumed before starting work, as well as during lunch and at the end of the workday. Castle accounting records indicate that several liters of beer were consumed daily.

The modern day alcohol policy in Finland aims to regulate alcohol consumption and reduce alcohol-related harm. By limiting the sale of alcohol during certain hours, authorities seek to manage and control the availability of alcoholic beverages, especially during the early morning hours when excessive alcohol consumption may pose additional risks.
