It's not a very clear article. Quite a few times it mentions the domestic market, does this mean foreign alcohol is selling well?

And of course its all about tax. Well, over tax and you get less tax, always the same.

well it's a new twist - wonder if they've thought it through.

Meanwhile Finland's PM is in trouble for partying too much and not looking after the country.
There is an extraordinary video circulating of her at a rather rowdy party.
She makes BJ look like a bit of an amateur :-)

Only at drinking. I’ll bet he’s still best fibber and top-shagger.

I can't resist this of the Finnish PM:
She's the one on the left at the front (!)

Sorry jno!

Great minds ...

Well even a PM needs to let their hair down now and again.

[jno]

at least she'll choose something a bit different when they get her on Desert Island Discs

[maggiebee]

Surprised BJ didn't come up with this idea, likes a wee drappie or three or so I've heard.

Ich... I think Sanna Marin is just reflecting Finland's enthusiastic appreciation of anything involving alcohol.

There's an old Finnish joke .........

"The Finnish definition of a gay man: a guy who likes women more than vodka" ;o)

wow, nice shapes in that photo, Fatticus. (Not that I am in any shape to criticise.)

I have read this story now on several sites, and inference being made does not quite fit the headline.

Young people are drinking less and the Government are getting less tax. So they have asked young people for ideas on how to promote Saki to their generation.

They have not told them to drink more.
