EYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Thirty years ago, a sobering dry spell in Iceland’s history came to an end.
On Friday, the country celebrates the anniversary of the lifting of a decades-long ban on beer with — what else? — a nationwide Beer Day.
The drink was outlawed in Iceland for 74 years, while all other booze was completely legal. The alcoholic anomaly finally ended on March 1, 1989.
