Scotlands Vodka consumption - allegedly !

[Tracey]

I remember when I was wee that there would be a bottle of Buckfast hidden at the side of my granny's chair when we went to visit. She called it her 'medicine'.

Yes and i remember as a child, whisky soaked on cotton wool and placed on the tooth was also supposed to *cure* toothache. I can only assume that the idea must have been that to a child it tasted so revolting you stopped moaning about the tooth.
