One distinction I saw was in the purchase of alcohol. I didn't try or buy anything alcoholic here, but Finnish people explained how the system works. Anyone above the age of eighteen can purchase alcohol. It appears to be the same as in the Czech Republic, but this is not the case.
They can only purchase alcoholic drinks with a lower than 21% alcohol content. These beverages are also available at regular stores. Stronger drinks, on the other hand, are only available in Alko. Because it is a government-run store, all of the pricing are the same in every location. Only those aged 20 and up are permitted to purchase alcohol with a strength of more than 21%. Furthermore, purchasing alcohol in Finland is costly.
