Alcohol and Drug Policy
As a newcomer in Sweden it’s important to know about drug and alcohol laws
and policies as they are more strictly applied here than in most other
countries.
Going out to clubs and bars is not allowed to people under 18, so make
sure always to bring photo ID so that your age can be verified. If not,
the owner can refuse you entering. Smoking tobacco is not permitted inside
any public building, or in restaurants, clubs or bars. Most places offer
the possibility to smoke in a designated area, right outside the entrance.
Any other kind of drugs (including “lighter” drugs such as marijuana) is
strictly prohibited, and the legal consequences of using drugs are severe.
Chalmers does not allow any use of drugs on Campus and all parties and
CIRC events are drug free.
