#1 Got to keep alcohol out of the hands of infidels. The police have done well to do this, it pleases Allah.

#2 I hate to say it, but this is what happens when you punitively tax the stuff. Maybe they should try banning it altogether and see how that works out.

#5 Used to do business with Norway. Was told a tale that was probably aprocryphal, but at the time, the state liquor store sold alcohol and flavorings. You wanted a bottle of scotch, you bought a bottle of alcohol and the appropriate flavorings, mix, and enjoy. This came to an end when they realized that they were selling significantly more flavoring as alcohol. Supposedly 100K stills in the city limits of Oslo.

#6 i feel a song coming on...

gather up the pots & the old tin can
mash the corn, the barley & the bran
run like the devil from the excise man
in the hills of östervåla...
oh whiskey, yer the devil
yer leadin' me astray
over hills & mountains
& to Ameri-kay
yer sweeter, stronger, decenter
yer spunkier than tea, oh,
whiskey yer me darlin' drunk or so----ber!
