According to the sources of Vísir the soldiers preferred local beers over imports, and were very willing to sample different micro brews as well as the more popular standard lagers.


Good lord hipsters have infiltrated the military.

Then why did you become a school teacher? That 50k salary won you over?

Iceland is one of the most expensive places in the world to buy alcohol. They try to stop people from smuggling alcohol off base to sell to the locals.

Wow. Neither did I for the record. Neither did these guys. I know a TON of guys who went military fresh out of high school. Many now have more degrees than you have wall space. 



Yeah... enlisted Navy for 6 years now have accounting, finance and business admin degrees and am a CPA. I'll take it

After American troops landed in Iceland in preparation for a major NATO military exercise, locals found that their visitors drank every single beer in their capital city.

No, sadly it's not. I served ten years in the Army and the barracks I shite you not are basically like the chaotic scenes of Van Wilder. It's no different than a college dorm the weekend after. Like someone said though, you have 20 something young kids but then add deployment tax free money with too much downtime?....well shite is gonna get lit....but in a bad way. It's why we can't have good things.

Years ago, I forget who it was, someone on this site posted "military drinking is to college drinking what college drinking is to high school drinking". I believe that's true.
