* how is he not dead ??

...
Holy cr@p... check out any of the links at the bottom...
 
"Sixty pint beer binge leads to four-week hangover" - it's about a guy who drank an average of 15 pints a day over 4 days and then wondered why he wasn't feeling too well afterwards...
 
OK, so the links are just exactly the same story copied and pasted word for word onto various websites, but that means that a number of different places have picked it up and published it.
 
"60 pints -- roughly 35 litres -- of beer over a four day period"
 
Well, that's just great.
 
Aside from being a bit of a scientific and medical anomaly, this guy has also promoted - perpetuated - the worst image of Scotland.
 
Cuz, you know, it's not like anyone already thinks the Scots like a wee drink or 60...
 
Thanks for conforming to lazy stereotyping, mate - coming up next, an Englishman in a bowler hat will be Morris-dancing while drinking tea, and a Welshman will be coal-mining and singing in a male-voice-choir while eating leeks and fighting dragons...
