Swedes Overwhelmingly Support Strict Alcohol Policies, Defy Government Decisions
The study looked at public opinions and alcohol policies in Sweden from 1990 to 2012. It found that restrictive alcohol policies are widely supported in Sweden, with increasing support over the years. The opinions of the public and decision-makers align quite well, but this doesn't always directly impact policy decisions. Overall, public opinion doesn't seem to have had a major influence on alcohol policy during this time period.
