Don’t Expect To Buy Beer Anywhere Anytime

If you’re fine with drinking booze with less than 4.7% ABV, then you can buy your beer and different ciders at the grocery stores and supermarkets. However, mind the time because groceries only sell alcohol until 8 PM on weekdays and 6 PM on Saturdays. Not all supermarkets sell on Sundays, and grocery stores don’t sell beer on holidays, including Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and Easter, as well as public holidays and voting days. If you’re planning to drink in a cabin in the woods on a Sunday or a holiday, buy your six-pack of beer or cider before 8 PM on Friday or 6 PM on Saturday (unless it’s a holiday); otherwise, you’ll have to wait until Monday. While some people find it inconvenient to rush to the nearest grocery after work before the 8 PM cutoff, everyone has grown accustomed to the idea of handling anything with adverse effects on health, such as alcohol, differently. Even alcohol advertising is banned in Norway, and the driving alcohol limit is extremely strict at 0.2%, but this is supported by the people to limit the dire consequences of excessive alcohol consumption.
