Brenn does not equal burning you fucking liar

>>15452807
I call it SNOREway because it's so dull!

>>15453029
First of all it is not brenn, it is brenne

Second:
Brenn = Burn
Brenne = to burn

ok, I guess you're right, it means "to burn" not "burning" not that there's any meaningful difference

>>15453088
And to burn means to distill. So distilled wine would be the correct translation

oof

>>15453113
>And to burn means to distill
It literally means to burn, but you are right that in norway "to burn" also mean "to distill" probably because they traditionally used an open flame to generate the heat needed to distill it. It's a pretty interesting point that I didn't think about and I am inclined to believe your explanation is the right one. Mine is of course right to, but I missed the significant part of it

>>15453029
>>15453113
Brennevin is literally "burning wine" in reference to liquor burning on the way down your throat. Brennevin is sort of an old people phrase though, younger generations just call it "sprit" Which translates to spirits.

In Canada, milk comes in bags.

>>15452981
It's just a little vodka and skating.
What's it gonna do? Give him cancer?

>>15453719
because of the quota system milk is super expensive so cheaper packages are preferred
fuck the CCP

>>15453719
I've heard it before and it is so fucking weird. I heard you even have special tupperware canisters to put the bag in once it's open so that it doesn't collapse and spill all over the place. How do canadiens themselves feel about this whole milk in a bag thing?

>>15454079
How much could the savings possibly be? I don't imagine cardboard is so expensive

>>15454232
not much but any savings is welcome

In the Netherlands, you used to be legally allowed to drink before being allowed to drive a car

>>15453707
Brennevin had the same root as brandy, which has it's roots in the Dutch language. Brandewijn. t. blandda upped euromutt

Vinmonopolet gets insane deals on wines. Since it's a public service they can't markup rare or highly sought-after bottles, which means they end up selling bottles that are really expensive on the global market for really cheap prices. Sometimes people sleep outside Vinmonopolet to be the first to buy these bottles, then they sell them for a massive profit outside of Norway. There are also people who travel to Norway just to buy wines from Vinmonopolet.

>>15452807
eep eep!

>>15452807
Canada, Quebec specifically has something similar where you can buy beer and wine and like kids alcohol like smirnoff ice and 4 loko type shit in grocery stores and corner stores - but then anything stronger than those is sold only in government stores.

I don't mind, there's plenty of the stores around with great selections and also we've got the lowest drinking age in the country. Also thank fuck those and the government weed stores remained opened during the lockdowns.

>>15454232
I haven't had milk in a bag since I was a kid, there's still plastic milk-bag containers at my parents place but they also just get cartons of milk they use the milk container to like store celery.

Otherwise I used to enjoy just grabbing a half-empty bag of milk and sucking straight from it like a teat.

Tom Green also would use them in his Canadian show.

>>15454614
>Doesn't Ringnes and Frydenlund have beers with more than 4,7%?
yes, but they are not allowed to sell them in regular store, only through The Wine Monopoly. Which closes 18pm on weekdays and 4pm on saturdays :(

Ok var bare retard

Canada or at least Ontario, got rid of their alcohol store monopoly, allowing grocery stores to sell it just a year ago. Funny almost like they had things planned out.
Being a government monopoly the cashier there was one of the most overpayed cushy jobs you could get.

>>15453118
>why do people drink a lot
your age is definitely showing dude

>>15454757
Yes, you're a retard, but I bet you're a nice young twink with a firm wellshaped ass and a tight boipucci. I'd like to fuck raw, gutten min. Where do you live?

>>15452807
Ohio is the same way!
Kind of burns me because across the river in Kentucky there is a place called Party Source that does delivery. But not to Ohio!

>>15454644
the difference is that everything not in the SAQ is made with malt liquor, not vodka or any other hard alcohol. Every single drink not at the saq is either wine or beer/malt based. Look it up.

>>15454796
party source is based af I always stop there before getting blackout drunk in college hill

>>15454830
Yeah that's pretty much what i wrote

>>15454845
>kids alcohol like smirnoff ice and 4 loko type shit in grocery stores and corner stores

Maybe to you it makes sense to think that smirnoff ice is made with malt acohol but in the rest of the world, including the rest of canada, any mixed can drink has real alcohol. Vodka, gin, rum, whisky. The same drinks you are used to seeing at the dep but made with actual alcohol. The Quebec version is a ghetto imitation.

I really enjoy apetor because he has raw footage of Norwegian countryside, and just seems like a normal dude enjoying life.

I also enjoy listening to him speak Norwegian to find words that I know as an Icelander.

*takes swig*
EUAHHHH!

>>15452807
wtf he made more than the original?
>>15452945
Your normie friends don't want to admit it but it's funny because it's a comedic take on a "racist" stereotype. At least, that's what I found funniest when I watched the original a long ass time ago.

>>15454893
Smirnoff Ice is explicitly malt liquor though.

>>15453723
yes. he beat it though, but he doesn't shit from his ass anymore.

>>15454986
>wtf he made more than the original?
He's got a million subscribers now. Tons of new vids

>>15452807
There is more liquor stores in my city than in entire Norway.

>>15455058
At the SAQ they sell a vodka based version, same as the rest of Canada.Quebec deps, and the united states (aparently) get the shit version.

>>15454620
Yes it is.

>>15452807
In Quebec all hard alcohol can only be sold in government stores caled SAQ (Alcohol society of Quebec).

Wine and Beer is being sold in any grocery store and gas station. Stores are not allowed to sell beer and wine after 11PM.

In Michigan no store is allowed to sell alcohol before noon on Sundays, this is the only time it's restricted

>>15455753
Because of Church?

>4.7%

Fucking hell, even a simple Budweiser is 5.0% and I can buy it in any gas station or smoke shop. I’m baffled as to why so many euros think our beer is the strength of tap water when a lot of their countries have laws like that.

>>15454796
>>15455753
Utah is like both of these. People say it is because of the mormons but the government makes a shit ton of money doing it this way. Also if you are interested I have read the book of mormon, and no, I don't want to be baptized

In Texas, only liquor stores can sell liquor. Grocery stores and corner stores can sell wine and beer, but basically nothing heavier than vermouth.
On Sundays, all liquor stores in Texas are closed by law.
So what's a guy to do if he wants to get shitfaced before church? Just pop over to the corner store for a 40 oz, right?
The kicker is you can buy wine and beer on Sundays but only after 12 PM noon, so your pregaming will have to wait until after your pastor bores your eyes out.
BONUS FACT: These same blue laws also apply to car dealerships being closed on Sunday. So if you wanted to buy a gun, a bottle of whiskey, and a used car for a Sunday drive you'll be walking home sober with an ar-15.

>>15453707
Sounds like similar etymology to "brandy" in English

>>15454644
>smirnoff ice
Real smirnoff ice is sold only at SAQ because it contains vodka. Smirnoff does have a line of malt beverages. I don't know the exact rules, but if you want liquor or premixed beverages made with liquor, you need to go to the SAQ. Corner stores and grocery stores can sell beer (no ABV restrictions), small wine selection, and malt liquor. Restaurants have to buy through the SAQ, but at a discount. They can have their own private imported wine collection though.

>>15454291
When did this change? I remember drinking my first beer at age 16 there. That was like 10 years ago.

>>15454620
t. prole

>>15452807
You know some american states have this too

in VA we have ABC stores liquor stores owned by the state its the only place to buy that kinda thing

it's weird to think that such restrictions on alcohol are being maintained or strengthened while weed and other drugs are being decriminalized and legalized elsewhere nearby

>>15452807
I live in the state of Utah, it's the same rules here too. Except you can buy beer up to 5%
Wine, liquor, and beer above 5% you have to buy at a state liquor store.
The fun fact is that Mormons are total puritans who would ban all alcohol and make Utah a dry state if they could get away with it easily.

Is Apetor a local celebrity in Norway?

>>15453113
Not norwegian, but we're basically the same thing
Brännvin translates literally to Burnwine
Bränn is definitely "to burn", if I burn the steak then I have "bränt steken" and if I want to commit arson then i'm going to "bränna kommunhuset" but "brännsprit" refers to distilled liqeur.

The word brændevin exists in all Nordic languages I think.
It's probably same root as "brandy" as well.
I'm guessing the double meaning of both being something made using a fire and being something that burns when you drink it is just a happy coincidence.

>>15456787
1 january 2014. Before you could buy and drink low alcohol content drinks (so beer and wine mostly) when you were 16. and 18 for hard booze.

You could get a licence at 18, but now they changed it you can start taking lessons at 16.5 years old, but you have to drive with an adult (with a license) until youre 18

>>15452807
Most dry counties have been in and are still in Southern states in the US.

>>15452900
It's the same in some provinces and states in Canada and the US.

>>15457161
Don't they think pills like opioids are acceptable too?

brennevin directly translates to brandy, or is implicated as spirits, you moron

>>15459858
How stupid are you. The word brennevin is literally made by putting "brenne" and "vin" together.

Brenne = Burn
Vin = Wine

You are one stupid cow

>>15459977
what do you think brandy means, you insufferable cunt. you are taking something literally, just to take it literally.

>>15452807
One big reason that brits drink so much tea is because they don’t have much good coffee going around

>>15459998
You said it DIRECTLY translates to brandy, which I just proved to you is false. It may have the same meaning, but the DIRECT translation is "burning wine". Stop trying to convince us you're right when we both know your not. You're just embarrassing yourself

>>15460029
stop being an insufferable cunt

>>15460069
I just called you out for giving out false facts with a besserwisser attitude. If you can't handle that then maybe reddit is a better place for you

>>15452807
Why is this the case? like what started the wine monopoly?

>>15460132
english and your language have the same roots, it's the same word, just mangled around a bit.
just remove vin from brennevin, and look what you have.

you are not pretending to be retarded, you are actually retarded

>>15460153
Just stop it man. You are now talking about something different to fog everything up. Do you really have such a big ego that you can't admit fault on an anonymous image board? It's really weird to see how you squirm and gaslight

not that other guy but im gonna have a makeout sesh with ur dad if keep this up

you fail to realise i do not care. i do not care about what you think, what you say or even what you believe.
you are a retard, and i am simply calling you out on your retardation.
only americans are this delusional

>>15452807
Man other countries have it rough. In my state i can buy hard liquor at grociery stores 7 days a week 365 any time other than between 2-6am. Beer and wine at gas stations too

I know a fun fact about the prohibition in america: it actually lead to decreased crime, decreased rates of liver cirrhosis, lower fetal alcohol syndrome, lower domestic violence etc etc. Quiet interesting really to look at.

>>15460304
>government overreaches into people's private lives
>same government publishes studies saying they did a good job

>>15454387
That’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard in my fucking life. Why the FUCK would they fucking set it up this way, it’s not like any government at any time didn’t understand alcohol pricing.

How do they even get such rare bottles? Are they stolen out of a dead man’s hands by the government as well?

>>15460311
Do you have anything to say the statistics are wrong? Im interested to know, especially because im not for prohibition.

>>15452807
good idea. it should have a 200% mark up as well.
only 3% alcohol by volume drinks should be freely sold.

>>15460320
no, because i dont have the statistics and you didn't provide any and expending the effort to convince a random anon is not worth my time. all i know is that every place i know of that has prohibited alcohol is a shithole in one way or another.

>>15460351
Ok, so you are making a baseless claim, as in youre just assuming that to be the case.

>>15460410
Look the issue is that while the government statistics may say it reduces crime, we also know prohibition spawned the mafia, and, henceforth
>machine gun Kelly
>al Capone
>other fagiolis
So did it really reduce crime? And plus, statistics can be manipulated any number of ways to make false claims and it happens all the time. You didn’t provide any stats so nobody on here can tell whether your stats are good or retarded. Lastly,
>government does something
>government: its good!
Just because it was 100 years ago doesn’t mean the governments claims are any more valid or bulletproof than they are now.

>>15454620
It's authoritarian. At the very least.

Communism really just means left authoritarian.lije how Hitler is right authoritarian. This is why it always annoys me when people use "communism" as a point of criticism when what they really mean is "authoritarian". Company stores weren't communism.
Except well... I'm drunk and searching for drinking topics on /ck/ and actually that is communism cuz of the state control of business I think.

Whatever. Just remember to always not be as drunk as I am right now.

Or less crime in general if you banned nogs.
And basically remove traffic deaths if you banned cars

Second point is legit
Third is solved by autonomous vehicles

>>15462088
Honestly the monopoly thing doesn't even bother me.
It's the fact that I can't own distillation equipment.
Making me ree, I can't even get fucking distilled water because chemical companies can't sell it

>>15456970
It gets worse. It's a county basis in the states, so even if state laws aren't strict, you could be near or in a dry county.
Wikipedia expert researcher:
Granted, we have a dozen or so counties larger than 10 or so European nations, but Norway ain't one of them. Population makes it a bit more complicated, though. Our dry counties tend to be on the less populated side, so it's more similar on that end.

>>15462111
Idk about youe country but here in australia the loophole is people buying distillers for "essential oils". Personally i dont bother, i just make applejack

>>15460315
Pennsylvania does this too you dumb-dumb
Wines and Spirits is one of the biggest wine buyers in the entire US because the government owns the stores and buys huge amounts of everything. Buying huge amounts of expensive wine means they can buy it and sell it cheap

>>15464208
It's a remnant from the prohibition time I think. When it ended they wanted to do a soft and limited introduction of alcohol to society again I guess. But that said it has become a excellent and superb store to buy wine and liquor the past 20 years. Before that the stores were very few with limited selection and it was operated like a "bar" where you had to go to the disk and say what you wanted. You couldn't go in and pick for yourselves. And the ques was fucking long man, every fucking weekend. Now it is a top notch store with very knowledgeable employees. Only thing that sucks is that it is still a monopoly and the short opening hours

'brennevin' is from Danish 'brændevin" which is from German 'Branntwein' which means burnt wine, aka wine that has been put on a burner, aka boiled, or distilled in the modern terminology.

You can only buy liquor in state stores where I live, so I know the feeling.

In Norwegian it is called "brennEvin" not "brenTvin". Even a dane of average intellect (for a dane) knows the difference

As a Norwegian, I love it.
You get a selection of about 30 000 different products - wine, spirits, beer and so on that you can order from a website and pick it up either on the post office for a small fee, or no extra charge at one of the outlets - which there are many.

>>15465360
This desu, it's so convenient.
I just wish they had a larger selection. I want to try some kumis but there's no way for me to get it without importing it, and the cost of importing something through Systemet is comparable to travelling to the country and buying it yourself.
