Norway
Poland
Denmark
Iceland
Fact: If you wanted to drink beer in Iceland between 1915 and 1989, you’d have to break the law to do so. The alcoholic beverage was banned in the small Nordic country for nearly 75 years. The ban followed a 1908 referendum that received 60% of the vote, indicating most of the country was initially in favor of prohibition. While most alcoholic beverages were gradually legalized over the following decades, beer remained outlawed. The beer ban ended on March 1, 1989, a date that has been celebrated as Bjórdagur (“Beer Day”) ever since.
