this is because of the strict laws or in spite of them it's difficult to tell. Yes, Norwegi-
an alcohol consumption has increased from 3.4L per person per week in 1960 to 6.2L

20-year-olds has increased dramatically. As one young bartender explained to us,
prohibitive bar prices for drinks forces many young Norwegians to buy alcohol in
bulk from Vinmonopolet outlets, drink at home ('foreplay' according to the local ver-
nacular) until midnight when they go out to drink in bars.
