If you're only into drinking for the ABV then 1) fuck you, you total and utter idiot and 2) the budget brand vodka is over there.

I used to pass the black isle brewery every week on my weekly day off to nverness, to see a cinema, nevermind a movie!
I liked the Tayberry. Preferred Sam'l Smiths right enough.

I remember getting Sam Smith's for £1.10 a pint in a wee pub in Oswaldkirk in N.Yorks, years ago. happy days.
