Meanwhile in Sweden, the National Board of Health and Welfare changed their guidelines in regards to drinking:

"Risky drinking now means drinking any of the following:

  • 10 standard glasses or more per week.

  • 4 standard glasses or more per drinking occasion (so-called intensive consumption) once a month or more often."

True story!

Same in Denmark. It was 15 until recently. We also held the record for teenage drinking for a long time, and still hold "most average alcohol per session" or something.

Yet we are statistically one of the "happiest" countries in the world. And take the most antidepressants!
