Scottish people 'drink 46 bottles of vodka'

Now there is a surprise:

Adults in Scotland are drinking the equivalent of 46 bottles of vodka each in a year, a study has suggested.

The research was based on industry sales data analysed by NHS Health Scotland.

It said sales for the year to September 2009 averaged 12.2 litres of pure alcohol per person over the age of 18.

To be honest, I don't really think Scots like Vodka that much. From my observations I can confidently say that most of them drink beer (larger or traditional).

The article makes me laugh because it reminds me of a few occasions I have had the pleasure of having a conversations with a drunk Scot.

Usually we would talk for about 30 minutes, me nodding most of the time, and not having a clue what we are on about.
