Despite the overall decline, Valborg is still associated with alcohol, particularly among young people, according to major media reports. Wahlund told Eskilstuna-Kuriren that drinking among younger groups is situation-dependent and often influenced by friends. In contrast, four teenagers — Miller Israelsson, 14, Emil Pettersson, 15, Frank Sikström, 15, and Valter Hellkvist, 15 — stated that alcohol is not for them and they will not drink during Valborg, as reported by Eskilstuna-Kuriren.
It remains unclear what specific campaign or initiative has gained breakthrough in reducing youth drinking on Valborg.
As an adult, you need to be available and clearly show what rules apply.
But we also see that Valborg is still a common occasion to drink alcohol.
It depends a bit on what friends do.
