Aye ,but this section is a bit deathly!

Between 2002 and 2004, the alcohol-related death rate for Scots men was 39.1 per 100,000 of the population, compared with 17.4 across Britain.

The figure was 15.7 per 100,000 for women in Scotland, compared with 8.1 in the UK as a whole.

Does that mean Scots women hold their ale twice as well as their english counterparts , or are they twice as out of control when imbibing on a night out?

I heard that on the World at One and although my heart swelled with pride and colesterol, I didn't deem it worthy of bringing it to the attention of the forum.
