How many times must I type this? :)

Scotland has a tax on its whisky almost as high as UK fuel tax.
I love particular single malts, but can rarely afford my favourites.
Whisky is cheaper to buy almost anywhere outside the UK and its 
distribution of varieties is doubtlessly wider externally than 
internally, as exports do not fall victim to such heinous taxes.

And to compound the frustrations, our health minister thinks chucking an 
extra 30p per unit on the price of EVERY drink will stop (mostly youth) 
drunkenness, failing to note that punishing a populous for a minority 
problem does not help gain any popularity, indeed, I'd say its normally 
illegal..

And regardless of what the media might portray via government 
spokespeople, alcoholism is a minority problem. All these politicians 
are such hypocrites, we can all see their red whisky noses after the 
recess for lunch. Without the alcohol driving their madness, they'd 
probably just sit in session quietly and just get on with it.

Nae, it is a proud Scot who can (afford to) out drink his colleague!!
