Sweden is already the luckiest country in the world. You can buy snus anywhere over there! I have not smoked a cigarette in nearly 2 years because of that stuff

Trying to get a decent beer in Sweden will swiftly disabuse you of that notion. There is a legal limit of 2.5% alcohol there.
It makes North America's mass market swill (and sorry Canadians, I know you love your Molson and Labatt, but they are closer to American Budweiser than to the decent NA microbrews you can get these days or pretty much anything in this part of the world). Whenever I go to Sweden, I'm asked to bring beer.

No no no. You got that all wrong. It is a limit of 3.2% to be sold in regular stores to 18+ year olds.
If you want something stronger you have to buy it from the goverment owned liquor stores where you can buy most kinds of alcohol (About 50+ different kinds of beer). This is mainly to reduce how easy it for minors to get alcohol. Ofcourse all bars and pubs are allowed to serve alcohol of above 3.5% to everyone 18+ years old tho...Isn't that 21 in USA?
OK, I was wrong, but I still take German beer to Sweden whenever I go and it is greatly appreciated.
That 21 rule is not a bad idea in the US. Remember, everyone there gets a driver's license the moment they turn 16 or 17 (depending on the state), buy their first clunker and never ride a bicycle again unless they get into mountain biking or rediscover it later for health or enviro reasons. In most European countries, from what I've seen, the teenagers tend to have motor scooters (or stick to bike + mass transit if they go to uni) and if you get into an accident because you were drunk on a scooter, you only kill yourself.
IMHO, the waiting a couple of extra years for a legal beer is better than riding a scooter. It is impossible not to look like a dork on those things.
That said, I'm a fan of Sweden. It has some of the best hiking in Europe.
I don't really drink much, but that does sound like a problem. I still like snus more than I like beer, though lol.
