Adults in Scotland are drinking the equivalent of 46 bottles of vodka each in a year, a study has suggested. The research was based on industry sales data analysed by NHS Health Scotland. It said sales for the year to September 2009 averaged 12.2 litres of pure alcohol per person over the age of 18. - Bonnie Foster

That's about a bottle of vodka every 8 days which is about 2 shots (or 1 cocktail) per day. It's not that astounding when you break it down like that. I think a more scary stat is that americans eat 40lbs of sugar per year which breaks down to a POUND every 9 days. - veo

Agree Veo. Seems horrific until you break it down. I have quite a few Scots in my family background but I don't drink the hard stuff...just a plain 'ol wino! - Bonnie Foster

According to Akamai’s Q3 State of the Internet report, the United States’ internet speed did not qualify for a place in the top ten list of countries with the fastest internet in the world, and its average overall speed has actually decreased by 2.4% year-over-year from 2008 to 2009. - Bonnie Foster

So it's all good again? Must've missed something then... only 8 hours apart... - Zu from AOD

I think it's good for Conan.....he wants out of there and frankly NBC wants him out of there because everyone is loving all the crap that Conan is throwing at NBC. Well deserved I might add! - Bonnie Foster

Sometime in the mid 80s I gave my father a subscription to Gourmet magazine. Looking back I think that's just about one of the most brilliant, inspired things I've ever done. Not only did it launch dad into what has become a life long passion for him, but we, his family, have been the ongoing beneficiaries of his recipe research and experiments. There is always something good cooking at my parent's house. These chicken wings are no exception. Dad found the recipe in a 1987 issue of Gourmet, for "deviled chicken wings". They are easy to make, relatively inexpensive (wings are cheap!), and insanely good. Great for appetizers for watching the playoffs, or as a main course with a side of Spanish rice. - Bonnie Foster

Yum.....may have to give these a try. - Bonnie Foster
