1973 Faroese alcohol referendum

A referendum on creating a state monopoly on alcoholic beverages was held in the Faroe Islands on 8 November 1973.

The proposal was rejected by 62% of voters, equating to 37.7% of registered voters, above the 33% quorum required for rejection.

Prohibition was eventually lifted in 1992.

In 1907 the Løgting voted to hold a consultative referendum on banning alcoholic drinks.

[1] As a result, a ban on the serving and trade in beverages with an alcoholic content above 2% was introduced the following year.
