I might be wrong about the German ones, correct me if I’m wrong!
I’m like 100% certain at this point that Moldova’s sole purpose for existing is to provide cheap alcohol and cigarettes for Romanians across the border.
I think prices in Sweden are similar to Finland. And there is an interesting “phenomenon” where Finns (mostly) go to Sweden to buy alcohol, but not from Sweden. They buy it on the ferry which has special taxation and alcohol is cheaper.
Austrians are baltic now!
I’d say Scotland to England as well.
Some hardcore alcohol consumer in Finland even goes extra miles to Latvia to get even cheaper one than from Estonia.
I read this from YLE a couple years ago.
Can’t be, finland has the most expensive alcohol in the EU.
I just don’t drink. We pay €5 for a beer in a regular, not expensively situated plain as day bar. It’s five times what you’ll pay in the supermarket.
Every year, around Christmas we would drive to France from South West London. (On the Ferry) and pick up enough alcohol to last for Christmas and half the year.
A Booze Cruise
Ten years ago I was about to cross the border between Spain and France in Irun. We stopped to get tobacco. There were a lot of french cars outside, inside the tobacco shop there were four cashiers and each one had like ten people waiting at 8:00am!
If you include booze cruises, England to France and Belgium.
Latvians don’t go to Belarus or Russia for alcohol, do they?
Just went to Sweden from northern Finland to buy cheaper alcohol.
I think some people come to Luxembourg as well for cheap alcohol. We do sell loads of petroleum and tabacco at least.
Didn’t read all posts, but some Norwegian people come by ferry from Oslo to Kiel to buy cheap alcohol there.
Why am I not surprised that Poland has cheap booze
In the Republic of Ireland we go north of the border.
So Danes go to Germany, where they buy alcohol which German middlemen bought in Poland and Czech Republic, and which they are now selling to the Danes for higher prices?
Meanwhile Lithuanians are like: “Home, sweet home.”
Austria just moved to Latvia completely.
Can also add an arrow from the Netherlands going to Germany for this.
You forgot about the biggest (alcohol) migration our blue planet has ever seen. The brittish comming to spain every summer.
It’s a shame David Attenborough hasn’t covered it yet
The Dutch also go to Germany.
Why is Austria next to Estonia?
Lithuania arrow to Poland
NO -> DK is missing lol
Scottish come down to England to buy !
I went to Sweden when I was 15 and was so confused about the guys on the ferry traveling with nothing more than a hand truck lmao.
Due to the unrivaled alcohol prices here in Norway, almost everyone I know travel to Sweden several times a year to purchase beverages together with bacon and other food. I still remember the shock of first seeing the low prices for wine in Poland in person. A bottle of the same wine which costs 15 euros here goes for a mere 1-2 euros there.
You missed all of the to Spain for maximum effect
Ok I am irritated by the Latvian flag. The red is just wrong.
Alcohol in Norway must be expensive.
Norwegians go to Sweden, Swedes go to Finland, Finns go to Russia.
Definitely need an arrow from Denmark to Germany
Austria is so drunk already, it ended up being mistaken by another country 😅
In France, we go to spain
Used to be able to buy heimbrent (moonshine) at almost any farm in central Norway, but I think that tradition is almost dead now, and have been replaced by border trips to Sweden
Why would the Swedes go to Germany if Poland is practically the same distance and even cheaper?
Swedes go to Poland 100%. All my Swedish friends have visited that country to get wasted for a week straight.
It a lot looks like Austrian flag, not Latvian.
Swedes don’t exactly go to Finland to buy cheaper alcohol. They go on a cruise where they can buy alcohol on the ship tax free because it’s on international waters….
Which is what us Finns do, too.
It misses Poles buying alcohol and cigarettes from Ukraine
Austria accepts this generous offer of Baltic territory
Poles who live in the south east go to Ukraine to get cheap alcohol, cigarettes, and a lot of other things. At least until recently. Idk what the law/ conditions are now.
As a german going to poland for alcohol is not worth it. Cigarettes is where its at

Damm it, since when has Austria annected Latvia?
Meanwhile Lithuanians are like: “Home, sweet home.”
