This doesn't bode well for the future of Scandinavia...HELSINKI, Finland (AP) -- Alcohol is now the leading killer of Finnish adults, with consumption reaching an all-time high last year in the Nordic nation, officials said Friday.
More than 2,000 people between the ages of 15 and 64 were killed by alcohol poisoning or illnesses caused by alcohol consumption last year, the government's leading welfare and health agency said. Nearly 1,000 people died in accidents or violent incidents caused by alcohol.

Combine almost year-round frigid temperatures, an inspiration-killing Socialist welfare state, relatively little sunlight, with unpronouncable names, and what's left to do but drink? With everything in the Finn world creating mass depression, could social scientists not have predicted this?
Seriously, can you imagine calling up a girl named Yarny Svenglishgreusenhosen for a date?
The only problem w/ the theory is that alot of these Yarny's look like tiger woods wife, and therefore there may be no need to go outside.
ReplyDeleteIf I was cooped up 10 months out of the year with a Swedish, lingerie model...I'm sure I could find something else to do besides drink.
ReplyDeleteThese alcohol-related deaths are probably those guys who don't know any Finnish lingerie models.
You can only frolic freely so long without a drink to revitalize. What a way to go.
