Yeah. You’re not gonna find many Swedes getting behind the wheel regardless of alcohol amount. There used to be a HARD stigma against it, since we know what happens. People used to get so drunk that we had to create a state monopoly of alcohol sales, in an attempt to reduce it. People argue about the actual effect, but i know that it’s cultural suicide to get behind the wheel drunk.
The legal limit is 0,2 ppm alcohol.
The Danes however… They could drink 3 halfliter lagers before reaching the legal limit of 0,8
we’ve even recently had a controversy where people had some blood tests done (or something like that) showing elevated levels of pETH or whatever it’s called, and this made them lose their license.
really wish we’d just mandate beathalyzer locks in all cars instead

Danish limit is 0,5 like most of Europe. Most people here have a rule of thumb of 2 regular beers.
My bad. I mixed it up with the uk. The danes actually never had a limit until 1998 😬
