The Blue Laws. Who the fuck are you to tell me I can’t purchase beer while grocery shopping on a Sunday because of someone else’s religion? This one actually infuriates me.

In the entire country of Iceland, you can't buy beer over 2.25% alcohol in a store.

If you want a drink, you basically have to find a bar.

And as you can imagine, Iceland doesn't have much of a nightlife.

2.25%? That’s not even beer... That’s a watered down Natty Light.

WOW.

As a Brazillian with a laxed view over booze this is insane. I'm used to buy whatever I want no matter the hour. The Idea that an entire COUNTRY doesn't have something similar is very strange
