Today’s beer sales and Vinmonopolet opening hours are too limited.

It’s not the most important thing in the world. It won’t prevent poverty, tackle an aging population, or reverse the climate crisis.
But extending opening hours in Vinmonopolet is a small act that contributes to more freedom in people’s everyday lives.
Today’s beer sales and Vinmonopolet opening hours are too limited.
On a normal weekday, those who work from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. only take one hour to reach Vinmonopolet. And if you don’t work on the weekends; six full hours from 10 to 16, if you’re an early riser.
However, not everyone has a 9-17 job, or the weekend off.
Do you think the sale of alcohol was closed too early?
For example, in the health sector many nurses work long shifts where they are awake all night and sleep most of the day.
The same goes for the cleaners who work the night and morning shifts to ensure the cleanliness we all depend on.
Therefore, today’s opening hours do not take into account certain groups of professionals (often the working class) and their needs.
Therefore, we must liberalize the opening hours of Vinmonopolet, so that anyone who wants to can have a glass of wine without having to worry about circumstances closing their doors.
It’s not the most important thing in the world, but it contributes to more freedom in – in what is for most people – a rather hectic everyday life.
