Scotland is pissed

[Liberaliter]

And this is why Scotland can never be granted independance.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Its likely to be the same in Ireland, I mean we do have the most underage drinkers EVAR.

I think you just solved this problem. They only accounted for drinkers of appropriate age, when there are, no doubt, many litres of alcohol consumed by people under the legal age limit.

 

[Rolling Thunder]

Of course they're pissed. They're Scots.

 

[PyroZombie]

Who cares?

Scotland is home to some of the greatest humans who just don't care about your feelings if your being a idiot, them and Ireland. If that's what we need to have in our country to have people not to care about the Political Correctness-Line, then I say bring the bourbon, the vodka, the brandy, the whiskey, let the wine pour like rain.

They also failed to account for students. I'd bet that at least half of the Scots and Irish aged 18-25 are in Scotland right now at university. Binge drinking.

Hopefully this study is plastered everywhere, lest it get wasted. I mean what's the point of distilling all this information and not making sure it's hammered down everyone's throats.

Epic Win right here!. I don't know what else to add after reading that. Bad Scotland I guess, you should be taking care of your livers.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

Woo scppotland!1 Brb going ti getn a drunk!

 

[stabnex]

Sounds like they're doing alright. I say let them drink to their hearts content if that's what makes them who they are.

 

[Penzled]

I was at a party last night and I can indeed confirm that we Scots do drink too much. As if you actually needed me to.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I didn't realize alcohol was so damn cheap in Scotland. Time to plan a vacation. And a rented cargo van.

Yup, at the local supermarket a four pack of lager is 88p. I kid you not. I can't imagine what it must taste of, and I've never seen anybody but the homeless drinking it, but nonetheless it's available.

That's not just Scotland, it's available everywhere. It's also less than half the strength of regular priced lager, and tastes like... well, I couldn't get through a whole can and I'm a student with taste buds numbed from alcohol and terrible cooking.

But, yeah: Scottish people drink a lot? Le shock! *faint*

 

[Acier]

So? Not as bad as Russia, and I'm guessing Ireland is close.

I wish everyone would be like this man.

My father: 1/8 Navajo, 1/8 German, 1/8 Russian, 1/8 Italian, 1/2 Scottish
The Result: A man who can drink an aircraft carrier's worth of sailors under the table, walk outside and utter the words:
"All right, time to get drunk."

Mind you, he's no alcoholic. He simply has a higher tolerance for alcohol than anyone I know.

I do have one question:
Why is it that I can down five shots of tequila and still not be buzzed yet I can't get through three beers without suddenly feeling like I took a brick to the face?
(Samples: 1800 Silver vs. Samuel Adams Boston Lager)

Barley or hops allergy bud. I'm the same way. 12 shots down and I a wee bit tipsy. 4 beers down and I'm done for the night.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Maybe they're just trying to forget that they're Scottish. I mean, if I lived in Scotland, I'd be an alcoholic.

 

[DuncanTTA]

I think the thing this study fails to take into account is that in scotland people don't wait untill they're 18 to start drinking.... I don't think many people wait untill they're even 16....

So it's not that we're drinking more, we're drinking slightly more and starting much earlier.

 

[Ishamel]

If you want to be shocked by habits in Scotland, you have to realise that half the population don't know what broccoli is, and if they ever found out they'd deep-fry it. worse than Hull. The alcohol consumption is, if anything, normal for the UK.

Love the Frankie Boyle gag: saw a drunk man in Glasgow pissing up against a front door, then let himself in with his key

Not if you drive the hundred miles odd from my house to the border - in the Republic of Ireland alcohol costs a bomb - no exceptions.

 

[Sneaklemming]

Sooner or later, someone's going to make some sort of Irish joke, I can sense it

[small]YOU THINK WE CAN AFFORD THAT WHACKY RUSSIAN SHITE?[/small]

I doubt it; simply due to the cost of alchol in Ireland. It's much cheaper to buy drink in Scotland. Trust me. I know. I am and Irishman living in Scotland after all.

A REPLY FROM SOMEONE IN SCOTLAND

I am not suprised. But you see we up here can handle our drink. Unlike the english. They get a unit in them and theyre all over the place. It takes alot more to take down a scotsman (or scirish (scot irish hybrid) like me).

Damn right. But in all honesty I dont see why they published this stuff in Scotland, wander into a supermarket at 8-10pm on a friday night and you can work that out for yourself.
