come to scotland. leave your pants at home.

Almost 40% of 15-year-olds admitted to drinking spirits each week, compared with 1% in Russia and 7% in America.

Surely these are not the 2nd and third places?

"I would advocate a ban [on alcohol advertising] in sport to make drinking less glamorous. There is a large amount of research which shows that alcohol advertising is effective and millions of pounds are being spent on this promotion every year."

I'd have to say that'd be pretty difficult, seeing as alchohol companies have gotten their name out because of it's sheer simplicity. Bud. One syllable, easily remembered. I suggest that alchohol companies make a product less than one syllable, possibly just a hand gesture or grunt.

[Sharessa]

That's my kind of woman.

[TheDarkArchon]

I would like to point out I am one of the 60% that don't do it. (Well, was. I'm not 15 anymore)

[fodders]

Among 13 and 11-year-olds, only English girls drank more.

[Nmn]

HEH
But I find it doubtful people drink more there than in Russia. Most statistics mean shit.

[Enjay]

yeah, 99% of them are made up on the spot.

About the article - seems about right to me. As for Bud being a short, simple name: around here, that would be pretty irrelevant as it's all Vodka, and various pishy alco-pops that the teenage girls drink. The guys drink them too, and real beer.

And in other news, 99% (me being the one and only exception) of all students at North Central Kansas Technical College drink regularly.

I'm an exception too. I find women who drink and brag very unattractive to me. That explains most of my high school love life.

I'm glad I'm from Ireland, the sane Scotland.

[insertwackynamehere]

people i know get drunk here all the time. well certain groups of people who generally annoy me. (this is america)

[baronofhell]

I get drunk, well I DRINK three times weekly. Bacardi to be exact, rum and coke.

[TheDarkArchon]

I've never been drunk and I don't intend to: I find the taste of most alcoholic drinks revolting.

I would have to agree with that. Just the smell of them is enough to drive me nuts.

[Nmn]

Got seriously drunk once in my life and I don't intend to repeat that.
I can't clearly think or focus on things I'd like to do when I'm drunk. I can't imagine a more annoying handicap.
Alcohol doesn't taste good for me. A lot of things have a better taste.

Isn't that the point? I sure as hell don't drink to not get a buzz.

I guess that means Scotland has the manliest women (or girls), then.

Is that why you guys wear plaid dresses there?

[baronofhell]

Ouch, I hear the scots don't like their quilts called skirts at all. I reckons you best to be watching your back for the remainder of your days sonny.

It's funny because it's kilts.

Hooray stereotypes. Besides, young people in an empoverished country surely have trouble buying hard alcoholic drinks, don't you think? I can assure you kids here don't have the dough to pay anything more complex than beer at night.
