It's said that the Northern Germans resent the Danes as they pour across the border to drink more cheaply.
And that the Copenhagen area Danes resent the Swedes as they pour across the border to drink more cheaply.
Which indicates the prices differentials: Swedish drink is two price jumps higher than German.
It's my impression that a lot of the traffic on the Stockholm - Helsinki ferries are foot passengers who have no particular desire to get off in Finland, they just like getting tax-free drinks aboard.
We were in Oslo late last year, and were somewhat amazed by the cost of beer there. On the other hand, the 'Irish' pub we were in had a damned good atmosphere.
