This fact that this museum exists surprised me because Sweden, being in the vodka belt*, has historically had a public health problem with binge drinking. So much so that there is a state monopoly on alcohol. Only the state-owned Systembolaget is allowed to sell alcohol in Sweden.
Sweden’s entry into the EU and the onset of online shopping caused some issues because Sweden was no longer able to control the consumption of alcohol the way it once was. I was rather startled when I moved to Sweden and saw advertising from the state-owned alcohol chain, Systembolaget, encouraging people to NOT drink.
*There is a vodka belt (Russia, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, the Baltic Countries, Poland etc), a beer belt (Germany,Belgium, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Czech Republic etc), and a wine belt (Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, France etc). There is some overlap though, which has increased as people travel more. There is also an overlap between binge and social drinking that has developed over time. Historically I believe that the vodka belt presented more binge drinking, and the wine belt more social drinking. When I came to Sweden people generally did not drink during the week but were heavy drinkers at weekends. Nowadays people can go to happy hour after work during the week and just have a drink or two. Many Swedish workplaces do not allow any alcohol at their summer or Christmas parties due to problems in the past with people having too much to drink and misbehaving.
I have never been one for alcohol. Desserts and sweet things have always been more to my liking, although I love a glass of champagne or dry apple cider at a wedding for example. I tend to drink once or twice a year. This means that I cannot tolerate much. My limit is one glass of wine.
