Funny given they're the nation that practically invented getting pished.
Due to the minimum alcohol pricing a fair few Scots drive down to the English border to pick up cheaper booze

You also need a second mortgage if you want to drink in Scandinavia.

They also have Kronenbourg blanc on tap everywhere.
