LIOUOR CONTROL
AS OTHERS 00 IT
i *> ... n i *
Since the repeal of the Eight
eenth amendment, and it later
ratification, more and more Inter
cut has been manifest in the way
the rest of the world has been
* handling this perplexing question.
While some Baltic countries
have resorted to- high taxation and
definite state monopoly as a means
of liquor control, with free sale (
permitted, Sweden, through the!
Bratt system, continues to regard
sale and consumption of liquor,
primarily • as a social problem.
In basic principle the Bratt
system insists upon:
"Disinterested management and
control of private profit:
Revenue to the state.
Distinction between liquor sold
for home consumption and in rest
aurants:
Emphasis on the individual con
sumer:
In Its daily operation tne *ys
tem as now developed provides
for sale of liquor at special stor
es and only to persona possess
in* the “passbook” Identification,
complete information for the state
regarding holders of passbooks.
Including drinking habits, occupa
tion, size of family if married, In
come, general qualifications as a
citizen, and so on; sale of strong
liquor at restaurants in restricted
quantities and only when food is
served at the same time, and re
gulation of amount of liquor sold
to individual • according to age,
sex, and so on.
Foundations of modern Swedish
alcohol legislation go back to 1885
when special taxation put a stop
~ to private manufacture of brann
vin (potato spirit) and modern
liquor companies were establish
ed. In 1909 the, prohibitionist move
went reached the height of its
power. In a voluntary plebiscite
moT*e than 1,800,000 men and
wofnen over 18 years pronounced
for prohibition and only about
2D.000 against. In 1919 the Brntt
system was placed in effect
It divides Sweden into, districts
each with a retailing company
which is also the center of regist
ration. Each Compaq? keeps an
alphabetical!? arranged central re
glster containing data regarding
all persons with whom the com- j
patiy has dealings, a sale# regist
er containing names of ^approved
customers and a register of all
purchases made, according to date.
“It can he claimed,” declares
Director John Bergvall, director
of the Bratt system in Stockholm,
“that the alcoholic legislation now
in force in Sweden has been re
sponsible Tor the decrease in chrou
ic alcoholism and drunkenness in
general."
OSLO: Norway gave up prohi
bition after a decade's trial.
The system, now in force includ
es local option, whereby each city
town and village determines wetb-:
er it shall be wet or dry: and »
government’ monopoly in the trade
with wine and spirits.
The government monopoly main
tains Hales organizations in the
largest cities. Customers are al
lowed to buy over the counter any
amount of wine or liquor, but none
ig served for consumption on the
premise®. Certain restaurants, cafes
nnd hotels are granted the right
to serve alcoholic beverages.
Many places are still dry, so
that neither beer, wine nor spir
its may be sold or served, but
Importation of these beverages for
personal use 1b allowed.
Since it is difficult in many rur
al districts to obtain legal liquor
■'moonshining" is practiced to a
certain extent. Manor prices are
high, in many cases being prohibi
tive for the common people, which?
has been one of the contributory
causes to the illegal distilling.
Norway’s prohibition period dat
ed from December, 1916. and in
the succeeding years the nation ex
perienced a wave of smuggling, il
legal trading in liquor, establish
ment of private stills, crimes and
deaths caused by the consumption
nl polsdnous substitutes.
After a plebiscite in 1926, in
which a bifc majority voted against
prohibition, the law was repealed,
gincs then the number of arrests
fur fntexieatlori has steadily de
creased, though It has not reached
the low, pre-war Agure. and smug
gling practically leased at once.
