The Faeroes have a tradition of "prohibition" (i.e. no alcohol) although alcoholic drinks can now be purchased from special state shops (Rúsdrekkasøla Landsins). Since 1992 the licensing laws have been relaxed and there are now licensed restaurants and pubs.
Yachts are allowed small quantities on board for their own use (one bottle of spirits per person, slightly more of wine), but it is frowned upon to take alcohol ashore.
Whale meat is available in The Faroe Islands but importing it into the UK/EU is illegal under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
