It turns out that once a national economy reaches a certain level of stability, the amount of beer drinking goes up.
Granted, we're in a recession and even so-called stable economies have been knocked on their heels but the rule still applies.
What is even a bit more surprising is that once a nation gets a certain amount of wealth, they then turn from beer to higher prices spirits. Thus, this news that Scotch exports are up 22% since 2010 is actually not that much of a surprise.
I mean, *I* can't afford the good stuff these days, but someone is.
