Actually a good store when it comes to expertise and selection imho .A little competition on prices would not hurt though...
We have high prices on all alcoholic beverages due to taxes that are supposed to curb our drinking..(Norwegians are binge drinkers..)

Yeah, our system was established just after Prohibition ended in 1933 and still much the same. There is talk of lightening the restrictions but so far, nothing as of yet. If you go across the line into Ohio or West Virginia, you can buy alcohol in the foodstores. So like you in Norway, here in Pennsylvania, we see the State Stores as a monopoly.
