In Sweden you're not allowed to buy alcohol if you're under 18 years old, the same rule is for tobacco.
You can go and buy alcohol at the liquor store when you turn 20 years old.
How much it is depends on wich city you are in. But yes, there are pretty much drugs in Sweden, and drugs are of course illegal.
UNIQUE IN SWEDEN:
#1 Surströmming, Fermented herring
Fermented herring is herring that has been preserved by fermentation.
It's doesn't taste that much it smells awful and even thought that a lot of people enjoy eating it.
#2 Kalles Kaviar
Kalles Kaviar is a Swedish sandwich spread made of smoked, sugar, salted cod and sejrom. Caviar contain added sugar, salt, potato flakes and tomato paste.

Salt Licorice, also known as liquorice candy is candy licorice flavor that is added salt liquorice.
Salt Licorice is mostly sold and consumed in the north europe, like Sweden, Finland and Norway.
Why it's unique in Sweden is because alot of swedes lika it, and it's not so many other people in other countries that does.
#4 Snus, Snuff
I do believe that most people know what snuff is, but the special thing about it is that it's actually produced and sold in Sweden.
Sweden produce the snuff and then exports it to other countries who sell it.

#6 Allemansrätten, right of public access
Allemansrätten is the right for all people to be on private land i the nature, to temporarily stay there and pluck berries, mushrooms and other things.
With this right, responsibility comes. You got to show respect both for the land and the animals who live there.
And also to the landowner and other people you may meet.
