Sorry, but that is just nuts. Booze is very expensive in Finland. You're the first person ever, finn or non-finn, who I've heard describe booze as cheap in Finland. Alchohol is generally very expensive in Finland due to high alchohol taxation. (AFIK) our Norwegian and icelandic Nordic breatherens are only ones on this planet who pay even more for booze.
I've been to most places in Western Europe, including several visits to UK, France and Italy, and booze certainly is way more cheaper everywhere (excluding other Nordic countries).
Price of booze in nice bars/clubs:
Pint of beer - London £12 / Dublin 8/9€, Venice/Rome 7-10€. Helsinki 4/5€.
Cocktails - London 15-20£ / Dublin 15-20€, Venice/Rome 12-15€,
Helsinki 8-12€.
For me that's cheap.
EDIT: For London I mean Maifair/South Kensington
For Dublin Temple Bar ofc.
Venice/Rome any members bar and for Helsinki either the Swedish Theatre buildings bar or Cuba bar.

only that it's cheaper than Coke, which is about £2-3 a pint in pubs. That said, I don't go to the "status" establishments.

I hate Finland, since some lowlife mother****er stole my phone during weekend. No, alcohol was not involved.

I love Finland because ...
1. My Finnish wife
2. Cheap, top quality health care. Here's a price list: http://bit.ly/7SUwyQ
3. Excellent free education system. Free even at university level.
4. Linux
5. Nokia
Dislike:
Getting taxed to death to pay for all the benefits
