Sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction. We cannot imagine how policies are sometimes planned and implemented. Here are 8 weird liquor laws from around the world.

1.Switzerland

In Switzerland, it is illegal to produce, store, sell or trade absinthe. But, it is not considered illegal to consume absinthe. You would wonder how consumption would even happen in the first place!

2.North Dakota

Any bar or restaurant, always serve liquor along with pretzels. They are salty and increase your craving for liqueur. Hence, most bars don’t charge for it. But in North Dakota, the practice is not the same. Beer and pretzels are not served at the same time.

3.Scotland

Perhaps the Scotland farming community operates on a sober breeding principle. If you are living in Scotland, you are not allowed to drink if you own a cow! Strange but true.

4.San Salvador

In San Salvador, traffic rules are very important. If you violate these rules, you will probably risk your life. Drunk driving is a serious punishable offense. You don’t just get a ticket. You will suffer death by the firing squad.
