…but I think the Scots may actually deserve that title.

When workers from the William Beardmore and Company Steel Works in Glasgow were dying from the large amounts of beer drunk to quench their thirst from the heat of the steel works, an alternative was sought.

Yeah, they were drinking beer WHILE working in a steel foundry, and dying from the beer, not from being drunk and causing workplace mishaps. BEER, not liquor. You gotta drink a shit load of voddy or whisky to to get alcohol poisoning and die, I can’t imagine the amount of brews you’d need to toss back to kill yourself. I imagine their quenching pond was actually just a piss-pit, and probably an overflowing one at that.

IRN-BRU -- you wont die from drinkin it, but it’ll make you hallucinate like fuck, and then slaughter your new forest friends. Apparently. To wit:

I gotta say, their commercials are way more entertaining that anything Coke or Pepsi’s come up with.

There are many more on the tubes of you if you care to peak.
