You can make your own alcohol! Extremely cheap and potentially very good tasting.
You know what? I'll give you a recipe on a drink called "Mäsk" or "Kilju". This is an extremely easy drink to make and will be about 12% alcohol (it's essentially sugar wine btw):

1L water
200g sugar
A tea spoon of dry yeast

Take a 1.5L soda bottle, clean it properly.
Pour 1L water into the bottle.
Add the sugar.
Shake the bottle until the sugar dissolves.
Add the yeast.
Shake again.
Take of the cap.
Take a balloon and put around the opening of the bottle (don't just put the cap on again, because the CO2 the yeast produces will make the bottle explode).
(If you don't have a balloon, take a small plastic bag (preferably clear and strong), press the air out of it, and tape it around the opening)
Use some tape to make sure the balloon doesn't move.

Wait until the mixture gets clear (2-4 weeks).
Use a siphon (some kind of tube that can transport liquid) to put the liquid into new bottles.

Enjoy (or more like, try not to puke, because the taste can be pretty awful)!

Optional: Buy a bottle of juice to replace the water. Just make sure there are place in the bottle for the yeast to work, so pour some of the juice out (cranberry or apple works very well (and if you use grape juice it will essentially become regular wine)).

Very interesting but it's even worse for your health than alcohol you'd buy in a store

Not really, it just becomes water with alcohol.
You see, if the yeast doesn't get enough oxygen from the air it takes it from the sugar, converting it to alcohol. The yeast then dies, when the alcohol level gets to high, and will sink to the bottom of the bottle!

So to be safe it is recommended not to drink the bottom of the bottle

I like beer way to much to think that my life would be better without alcohol. But with that said I almost never get drunk, hangovers hit hard when you get older

When you get older, if you don't smoke, don't exercise and drink regularly you will most likely get fat.
