The System

You know the weekend is here when the town center is packed with folks queuing at the liquor store.  Such was the case last Friday evening as the limited, government-controlled opening hours at Systembolaget in Kungsängen drew to a close.  These folks needed to get in line to place their order over a counter, old school-style, before seven o'clock otherwise miss their opportunity to imbibe since there's nowhere else to buy alcohol.  This kind of government-calling-the-shots may just be one of the reasons socialism is frowned upon in some parts of the world.
