My favorite fact about Iceland is that it was a dry country, with beer being banned until 1989. Home brew is limited to 2.5%.

Strong alcohol is only really sold at state ran shops called Vinbudin hat often have weird opening hours.

Its also very expensive, majority of the cost being tax.

Norway and Sweden are like that too. Something about the long, dark winters that makes alcoholism spiral out of control unless they clamp down on it.
