I have to admit that yes I am a Norwegian, and yes we consume several bottles each christmas; It is the only 'enjoyable' liquid that is able to dissolve all the fat food we consume during that time.
Nothing at the pharmacy beats the real stuff.
When my wife visited Norway first time she ended up in a student dormitory. She was very impressed by all the sugar and east she found in the kitchen area(boxes and boxes). She tought we were baking for christmas; how naive; at least it worked for me
