Black market inspired in the Estonian capital

Target language: English

The citizens of Tallinn, the Estonian capital, have been forced for the past six months to buy extra alcoholic beverages. Most Estonians have drink supplies at home - in case of unexpected guests or an invitation somewhere. Over the past six months the Tallinners have had to get used to the idea that if one wants a beer after dinner and there is none in the house, there won't be any in the shops either, not until the next morning.
