Well, Peter - that could very well have been a true story, but it must have been many, many years ago....

Today prices for booze are high,

even in DK... so getting real stoned

has the most sincere effect on your financial situation ...

a glass of draught beer (½ ltr) will

cost you appr. Dkr. 40,- in most

places (=almost 5,- USD !)

enjoy...!

I once heard that Swedish passengers traveling to Denmark were at one
time forced to buy a return ticket, because otherwise they would use
up all of their money in Denmark to get loaded, leaving the problem
of getting back to Sweden to the Swedish embassy in Copenhagen, and
the embassy was getting fed up with it. Is this a true story?
