1. Hva er formålet med alkoholloven?
What is the purpose of the Alcohol Act?
- Å begrense skadene alkoholbruk kan føre til
To limit the harm that alcohol use can cause - Å sikre staten størst mulig inntekter fra alkoholavgifter
To secure the greatest possible revenue for the state from alcohol duties - Å gi alle voksne lik og enkel tilgang til alkohol
To give all adults equal and easy access to alcohol
Correct answer: Å begrense skadene alkoholbruk kan føre til
Under § 1-1 of the Alcohol Act, the aim is to limit as far as possible the social and individual harm that alcohol use can cause. As part of this, the Act aims to limit consumption. The purpose is therefore not to raise revenue or to make alcohol easily available.

2. Hva menes med «alkoholholdig drikk» i alkoholloven?
What does "alcoholic drink" (alkoholholdig drikk) mean in the Alcohol Act?
- Drikk med mer enn 0,7 volumprosent alkohol
A drink with more than 0.7 % alcohol by volume - Drikk med mer enn 2,5 volumprosent alkohol
A drink with more than 2.5 % alcohol by volume - Drikk med mer enn 4,7 volumprosent alkohol
A drink with more than 4.7 % alcohol by volume
Correct answer: Drikk med mer enn 2,5 volumprosent alkohol
Under § 1-3 first paragraph of the Alcohol Act, "alcoholic drink" is the collective term for drinks with more than 2.5 % alcohol by volume. The 0.7 limit concerns low-alcohol drinks, which are only covered by the age limits in § 1-5. The 4.7 limit separates group 1 from group 2.

3. Hva er forskjellen på salg og skjenking etter alkoholloven?
What is the difference between sale (salg) and serving (skjenking) under the Alcohol Act?
- Ved salg drikkes det utenfor salgsstedet, ved skjenking på stedet
With sale the drinking is away from the point of sale, with serving on the premises - Salg gjelder drikk i gruppe 1, skjenking gjelder drikk i gruppe 2 og 3
Sale covers group 1 drinks, serving covers group 2 and 3 drinks - Salg skjer mot betaling, skjenking skjer uten betaling
Sale is against payment, serving is without payment
Correct answer: Ved salg drikkes det utenfor salgsstedet, ved skjenking på stedet
Under § 1-4 of the Alcohol Act, sale is handing over to a consumer against payment for drinking away from the point of sale, while serving is sale for drinking on the premises. Both are against payment, and the difference has nothing to do with the alcohol groups.

4. En ny kafé har fått serveringsbevilling, men ingen skjenkebevilling. Kan kafeen skjenke vin til gjestene?
A new café has a food-serving licence (serveringsbevilling) but no serving licence for alcohol. Can the café serve wine to its guests?
- Ja, serveringsbevillingen omfatter drikk i gruppe 1 og 2
Yes, the food-serving licence covers group 1 and 2 drinks - Ja, hvis vinen serveres sammen med mat
Yes, if the wine is served with food - Nei, det kreves skjenkebevilling etter alkoholloven
No, a serving licence under the Alcohol Act is required
Correct answer: Nei, det kreves skjenkebevilling etter alkoholloven
Serving may only take place on the basis of a licence under the Alcohol Act (§ 1-4a). The circular on § 1-4a makes clear that a licence under other laws, such as a food-serving licence, does not give the right to sell alcohol. Serving the wine with food does not change this.

5. En gjest som er 19 år, bestiller en whisky med 40 volumprosent alkohol. Hva gjør du?
A 19-year-old guest orders a whisky with 40 % alcohol by volume. What do you do?
- Nekter, aldersgrensen for gruppe 3 er 20 år
Refuse, the age limit for group 3 is 20 - Skjenker, fordi gjesten er over 18 år
Serve it, because the guest is over 18 - Skjenker, hvis whiskyen blir blandet med vann
Serve it if the whisky is mixed with water
Correct answer: Nekter, aldersgrensen for gruppe 3 er 20 år
Whisky at 40 % is a group 3 drink. Under § 1-5 first paragraph of the Alcohol Act, group 3 must not be served to anyone under 20. Mixing with water does not help, because the age limit is decided by the strongest ingredient.

6. Hva er formålet med serveringsloven?
What is the purpose of the Serving Act?
- Å redusere alkoholforbruket i befolkningen
To reduce alcohol consumption in the population - Å fastsette minstelønn i serveringsbransjen
To set a minimum wage in the restaurant industry - Å sikre forsvarlig drift av serveringssteder
To ensure that serving businesses are run properly
Correct answer: Å sikre forsvarlig drift av serveringssteder
Under § 1 of the Serving Act, the purpose is to ensure that serving businesses are run properly, for the sake of the industry, the guests and society. The Act should also give stable conditions and prevent unfair competition. Limiting alcohol consumption is the purpose of the Alcohol Act, not the Serving Act.

7. Et gatekjøkken har noen bord der kundene kan spise maten på stedet. Gjelder serveringsloven for gatekjøkkenet?
A takeaway has a few tables where customers can eat the food on the premises. Does the Serving Act apply to the takeaway?
- Ja, fordi det ligger til rette for fortæring på stedet
Yes, because it is set up for eating on the premises - Nei, loven gjelder bare restauranter med servitører
No, the Act only applies to restaurants with waiters - Nei, loven gjelder bare steder som skjenker alkohol
No, the Act only applies to places that serve alcohol
Correct answer: Ja, fordi det ligger til rette for fortæring på stedet
§ 2 first paragraph of the Serving Act covers all places that serve food and/or drink where the premises are set up for consumption on site. So the Act also applies to places without alcohol and without waiters.

8. Hvem gir serveringsbevilling?
Who grants a serving licence?

The municipality - Politiet
The police - Statsforvalteren
The County Governor (statsforvalteren)
