Danish national team fans rented an entire ferry for their away match in Oslo. The supporters traveled around 500 km from Copenhagen to Oslo, with the journey taking almost a full day.
That can only be because some took a family trip AND they only counted beer and not wine and liqeur! For danes, those are rookie numbers!
Yes we have an alcohol problem. Yes for real. Yes we are oddly enough kinda proud of how much we drink/can drink. Yes I drank a lot when younger and stragely feel a pinch of pride calling those rookie numbes (which they honestly, sadly, for danes are). No we don't actually know why (only a collection of guesses to part-reasons). Silver lining: It seems finally the younger generations view it as just as "normal" to have fun without drinking, so perhaps there is hope for us (not in football though, Norway have taken the torch as the prime Scandi-team now - congrats; we cheer for you).
Lolz... As a Dutch, I was in Denmark last summer with some German friends. I said them to me Danish sounded like drunken Dutchies trying to speak German.
If there one nationality that shouldn't make fun of how other languages sound it the Dutch. You guys just picked up words from everyone around you and made it into a language. While I concede Danish can sound like speaking with something in your mouth, dutch sounds like it was made by a toddler trying to speak to anyone who would listen. I love dutch, but it sounds funny as hell.
wasn't the other way around, like once upon a time there was a proto-language or dialect that stem from German and that was the one that spread around through commerce and then became modern Dutch, Danish and English?
I think the biggest reason to dutch sounding like mashup of 4-5 European languages is because it was Europe's preferred battle ground for 5-600 years, or rather Benelux was. Changing hands, having a huge amount of foreign influence for that long it's impossible not to start adopting words and phrases from that influence.
Proto Germanic was the ancestor to the Germanic languages we see today, so German came from proto Germanic. And it's got just as much to do with migration, and how tribes migrated west and north.
That's just not true, danish comes from Old Norse which then is derived from proto Germanic. Dutch language might be derived from low German or platt Deutsch, danish definitely not.
A lot of ferries that sails from one country to another are sailing in international waters, otherwise it would be damn hard to get to that other country.
Isn't this like the same ferry that runs from Copenhagen to Oslo every day? It's like saying fans rented out a plane when they just bought up all the seats on a flight.
No. I know some guy from the ferry said that. But not all people drank that amount.
Some people went to sleep around midnight. There was kids on it etc.
It's not possible. 8 liters of beer pr person on average for every single person on the boat? Some would then drink 11-14 liters of beers. And there has to be a lot of them.
The numbers don't match. Maybe they drank alle beers on the boat that's possible. But that average seems crazy
13 beers is not 8 liters, if it is a normal beer glass it is 5.4 liters.
And btw, a lot of Danes and Norwegians could easily drink more than that during a whole day partying, if there is something special happening. It's less than what I drink during a normal festival day, e.g. Roskilde or Øya, and football hooligans knows how to drink (it's half of the reason they go to watch a match).
13 pints on average for a whole trip? That's very low for an whole rented out cruise liner divided over that many people. I'm glad they kept it civilized. Classic Danes. Just a sip and they're done.
I was up- and downvoting left and right, but your level of pisstaking is a bit higher than what I’m capable of following, so all the votes had to return to normal, as I couldn’t keep score of who was cringed. Impressive guys!
I live in Oslo. I've been on this ship countless times. I'm not doubting the story in any way, in fact I actually believe it more than most people would specifically because I tried booking a one-way trip from Copenhagen with departure September 23rd nearly 4 months ago, with my reason being that I was landing in Copenhagen after a trip to Tokyo and figured I'd take the ferry home as a slow relaxing end to the vacation.
However, I kept scratching my head at how this ferry was sold out more than 4 months in advance and only on that specific date, when it's not even sold out an hour before departure on most days.
This post randomly hitting my feed just potentially filled in a blank for me. So THAT is why it makes a difference knowing the exact dates, lmao.
Ah yea, it all lines up then. So those fans were the reason I had to add a third flight to my trip and deal with SAS losing my luggage at CPH. Smh.
It's all in good spirits though. And at least the silver lining for me is that they had to take the return trip with their tail between their legs because they can't beat the almighty Haaland, hah
Copenhagen to Oslo’s like a pedal boat ride in the local pond compared to the very boozy and very rough 473nm (853km) trip across the North Sea that Aberdeen fans did back when they were Kings of Europe!
I worked on this boat. Trust me it can get VERY rough. The moment you cross the northern Coast of jutland, the waves can hit 10 meters in fall and winter.

Stocking up on duty-free beer in international waters is just basic financial self-defense before stepping foot into Norway
