Beer prices in Norway are (gasp!) “too cheap”, so authorities have threatened to strip licenses if sellers do not raise prices. This has incited a beer-buying binge, as people rush to buy before prices rise.

I can’t help but wonder if the brewer’s lobby had a hand in it, despite their public protests to the contrary.
