Alcohol

Scotland has a long - and not always pleasant - association with the demon drink. On the plus side, our hills and glens are the birthplace of whisky - the water of life - one of the world's iconic drinks. On the other hand, many of the problems of modern day Scotland: low life expectancy, violent crime and domestic abuse, are rooted in the abuse of alcohol.
