are more of differenoes than similarities between them in all ways, including their drinking customs.
A superficial (表面上的) observer might think that no one in Ndrway drinks wine. Meals eaten in
restaurants or at home are usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however, pale or
dark ale (麦芽酒) is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food.
Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and the price is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite
drink. Aalborg schnapps made from corn and potatoes, is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the
Danes, brandy is also an aperitif (开胃酒) and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice
of surrounding toasts here can be uncomfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept all
others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. IAdies are
fortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content.
It is milk instead of liquor that is the principal (最重要的; 主要的) Finnish table drink. More milk is
drunk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and
a check is kept on consumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers.
As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the
difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages (烈
酒) are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks.
But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is against the law.
Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the old-
fashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes. Tea is so popular in Sweden that it has been called the
Swedish national drink.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010.
