It is estimated nearly 50m litres of pure alcohol, equivalent to 11.8 litres per person over 16, was consumed by Scots in 2007 -

Also, 50 million liters (I insist on that spelling) of pure ethanol would be quite a sight to see. Twenty Olympic size pools worth of sweet, sweet C2H5OH... the thought of it brings a tear to a hobo's eye.

Dagless: The cabin crew suggested we all go out and club it. I had no option; it was that or one of there B&Bs. I figured it'd be safer on the streets. For the first time ever I saw the Scotch in their natural habitat, and it weren't pretty. I'd seen them huddling in stations before, being loud but... this time I was surrounded. Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white flesh puckered by the Highland breeze; tight eyes peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked voices hollering out for a taxi to take 'em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole. A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer, bairns looking on, chewing on potato cakes. I ain't never going back... not never.
Sanchez: My aunt lives in Scotland, she says it's quite nice.
Dagless: Well she's wrong.

The health benefit of one or two 150 mL glasses of wine per day is by now well-known.

So if I assume a 10% ABV wine and 2 glasses per day, in a year that becomes 30 mL * 365 days, or 10.95L of alcohol per year.

So it strikes me as odd that WHO would be troubled by 11.8L per person-older-than-16.

I heard that there was a tour you could take of Scotland that included one ride on an Old time steam train, one visit to a castle, seven golf trips to different courses and ten tastings at different distilleries.

/getting the money together right now.

Do they have a steam train that takes you for 17 tastings in a castle in lieu of the golf? The only club I can swing worth a damn has nails all over it.

"It is estimated nearly 50m litres of pure alcohol, equivalent to 11.8 litres per person over 16, was consumed by Scots in 2007 - almost two litres more than in England and Wales where the average was 9.9 litres per person. This average of 11.8 litres equates to 570 pints of 4% beer or 125 bottles of wine - enough for every adult to exceed the sensible drinking guidelines for men, of 21 units a week, every week of the year."

So what? Other than the slow erosion of human rights by collectivists, what do they (or anyone) have to look forward to? Bottom's up, I say, if it gets you through the day.

Earl of Hines, Count of Basie, Duke of Ellington.

BTW, no one has pointed out that the Scots are a mere 8th on the list. Lightweights. Now, Luxembourgers, THEY really know how to bend an elbow. L-U-X! L-U-X! L-U-X!
