Many people were annoyed about Kalliala-Petelius sketches on Laplanders in
general and their drinking habits in particular. Well, statistics are
confirming that Jouni Lapinpoika is a true drunkard (spurgu, tenukeppi,
oksovidare). The average consumption per capita is less than 10 litres a
year in Finland. In Utsjoki it is well beyond 50 litres per year. Pretty
drastic. Naturally the figure is tampered by spurgus from outside the
municipality - particularly from Norway and yet..........

The figures above project sales rather than consumption but anyways.

Laplanders distill a lot of their own privately too. "Mhie oon
khyllästyny phontikkhaan! Khossusta mie sou'an koko yön!" a local told a
an acquaintance of mine when he went fishing in Lapland and needed a
local rower.

You are comparing two different things. Kalliala and Petelius
pretended to be ethnic Lapps (Sami) and the protests were about
racism. (The boys are both from Kymenlaakso, so they don't know a
thing about Lapps.) Your statistics are about the whole population of
Finnish Lapland, which is almost entirely Finnish. The 1 500 or so
Lapps are not much amongst nearly 200 000 Finns.

I'd like to see a rerun of "Viemäri-TV" in which a Lapp revenge squad
wandered in Helsinki in search of Petelius and co.

In Utsjoki the Finnish speaking folks constitute only a minor majority over
the peoples speaking some native/local language.

Not any more. The last statistic I saw had Finns as the majority. But,
as you pointed out yourself, the high figures of Utsjoki are caused by
Norwegian visitors to the local Alko.

In Denmark it is about 11 liters, but Greenland ..... I wouldn't even think
about it.

Get fucked.

The average consumption per capita is less than 10 litres a
> year in Finland

Alcohol consumption is not even a relevant topic in most
of the multi-national countries.

PS

Fuck the propaganda, Finland ranks with the Balkans and the Ukraine
in true consumption - meaning - fighting for number !1!

You are joking.

If one beer contains .75 litres X 5% of pure alcohol - I think you'd
be scoring
in excess of 30 litres per annum.

Take this to the European standard of .5 litres X 5.5% of pure alcohol
and you still
look the same.

The immense number of oddballs from Austlaaria posting something relevant to

The statistics for meat and dairy products would probably show that
the lapps have a consumtion of 150000 calories a day. The Norwegians
are like locusts. Why don't they vote for a government that gives them
access to world markets without exorbitant taxes?
