To buy alcoholic beverages over 3.5 percent in Sweden, you need to go to Systembolaget. The state-owned store chain was founded in 1955 and has a monopoly on sales.
The store has strict rules for sales, among other things you have to be 20 years old to shop and many need to show identification long after that, to prove they are of age. Another hard rule is that they stay closed during holidays to reduce alcohol consumption.

– If you have the opportunity, it can be good to plan your purchases and not be out at the last moment as there are often many people in the shops, he says.
