How was wondering if there was any substantial difference in alcohol consumption between British regions and whether they was some truth to the stereotype of the Scots drinking a lot of spirits like whisky. Well it seems to be true recording to this scientific study:
Regional alcohol consumption and alcohol-related mortality in Great Britain: novel insights using retail sales data
Londoners consume the least alcohol per capita, followed by East England, Central England and South East England.
The heaviest drinkers are the Northern English Central Scots (including Glasgow and Edinburgh), and above all Southwest English, which in this case are only the people of Cornwall and Devon. Nevertheless Central Scots consumed by far the most spirits (3.2 litres of pure alcohol per adult per year, i.e. twice more than Londoners).
There is obviously a correlation between alcohol consumption and alcohol related mortality rates, except strangely the South West.
