Finnish alcoholism subsidizes Estonian literature ?

       Apparently looking for a way to spin the fact that 84 per cent of Finns who visit nearby Estonia load up on cheaper liquor there Yle find the silver lining: Finnish booze rally helps fund Estonian literature.
       Yes,:

Finns crossing the Gulf of Finland to stock up on booze are helping to fund Estonian literature and cultural activities, as a portion of alcohol taxes in the Baltic country are allocated to culture foundations.

       I am also amused by the suggested 'Read also'-link at the end of the article: an article that finds -- stunningly ! -- Majority opposes pricier alcohol, as:

An Yle-commissioned poll shows that nearly 70% of the Finns oppose any further restrictions on alcohol sales. However, 80% want to see consumption of alcohol cut

       Helsinki, I think we have a(n alcohol) problem .....
