Not in Scotchland. A wet dog is as close as most of you get to a playstation.

Enjoy.

Hard liquor is more popular in Europe than in North America? When did that happen?

In Eastern Europe it way more popular than in the States. In Germany, France, Spain and the UK it's pretty similar. Italy appears to an exception and is a much lower spirit consumer. In general European levels of alcohol consumption are significantly higher than in the US.

Thanks, welli.

Interesting to see that France has cut wine consumption in half over 40 yrs.

Watch that cirrhosis, though, dear UK.

In the words of English football fans:

"Have another stella georgie best
Have another stella georgie best
It's bound to turn you yellow
So Have another stella georgie best"

Anyway aren't cirrhosis a kind of cloud, like cunnilingus?

To be fair the main reason cirrhosis isn't fun is it's just so difficult to get anything to go with yellow.

So it's a lot prettier than blue roses, which I think you can get along with pneumonia and hurts when you breathe, which is often.
