>It's not allowed to serve people that is "visibly intoxicated" but almost no one cares. At a normal Friday and Saturday night, Oslo is a battlefield of shitfaced people.

Strictly speaking the same is true in the UK, but lol.

Section 141 of the Licensing Act 2003:

"(1) A person [...] commits an offence if, on relevant premises, he knowingly—

(a) sells or attempts to sell alcohol to a person who is drunk, or

(b) allows alcohol to be sold to such a person.

[...]

(4) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale."

Where "level 3 on the standard scale" is £1,000.
