Drinking habits

Less than half of Finns would like to see wines sold in grocery stores, according to a recent survey.

46 % of the people asked in the survey are in favour of wine being sold in supermarkets with men being more liberal and wanting an easier access than women. There was also a difference in education, so not only that according to surveys you have a better chance to make use of your education if you are from an academic background, you also want easier access to stress down with alcohol, make ir easier accessible in the supermarkets.

Parents in Finland are surprisingly tolerant of their teenagers' alcohol use. A fourth of parents even buy alcohol for their kids, according to a survey even though supplying minors with alcohol is a crime in Finland. And mind that even giving it to your own children is the same crime. A great deal of parents interviewed in the survey had no idea of the drinking habits of their children at all.

I would like to see the survey that says whose kids are supplied with the alcohol?

I would bet on it being “the better half” of the population, the educated classes that are more liberal with things anyway. Well getting the painkillers for your hang-over the day after you still have to pay prices about 11 % higher than the average in the EU and they are available at the pharmacists and not yet in the supermarkets, which has been discussed as well.
