    Order "Hard Tea" Where Helsinki Dodged Prohibition

    Finland banned alcohol from 1919 to 1932 — and Helsinki's grand hotels became the frontline of resistance. At Hotel Kämp on Pohjoisesplanadi 29, staff served 'hard tea' (vodka in teacups) to guests who knew the code words. The prohibition era created a smuggling empire: an estimated 6 million litres of spirits crossed illegally from Estonia annually. When the ban finally ended with a public vote in 1932, Alko — the state monopoly — was born. Stand at the bar of Hotel Kämp and order a tea. Or don't. The point is that 94 years ago, that same order would have been an act of defiance.
