La libertad de comprar vodka a la una de la mañana

Interesante la descripción sobre Noruega, y acá nos quejamos de la SAQ:

When I learned that liquor can be sold in Louisiana all day and night, I was stunned. And then I was stunned at myself for being stunned. More than stunned — appalled, actually. I’m an American, but in that moment I realized I’ve lived in Norway so long that — for all my endless ranting about it — I’ve grown accustomed, on some level, to that illiberal, menacing, infantilizing monster, the Nanny State. Despite all my best efforts, I’d turned into somebody who was thrown by the idea of a laissez-faire liquor law. “I’ve lived in Norway so long,” I lamented on Facebook, “that I’ve forgotten what it’s like to live like an adult.”

Por las fotos (ver aquí y aquí), las tiendas del monopolio estatal de alcohol de Noruega no tienen nada que envidiarle a un mall de súper lujo.
