Ooh, if the people from Glenfiddich found out you'd been drinking whisky and ginger ale.. There'd be trouble! :) You're right, new year does generally suck, unless you plan it very carefully. That's why I wasn't so bothered when I spent mine on a night shift at work. At least they provided a little free alcohol for us...

That reminds me of another travel story. I went out with a Scotsman when I was in Inverness. We went to a bar with a live celidh every nite, and he asked me what I wanted to drink. I asked for a whisky and coke (keep in mind, I was only eighteen and hadn't learned to stomach straight liquor). He kind of stared at me, then said in this wounded voice, "Yeh can't ask a Scotsman to order a whisky and coke. Yeh just can't." He did anyway, after a bit of eye-rolling, and I later acquired a taste for straight scotch. Probably I was just too embarrased to ask for more mixed drinks.
heh :) They are a bit funny in Inverness, though. Must be all that fresh air.
I knew plenty of people at uni who enjoyed their whisky and coke. In fact, my student union allegedly went through more Jack Daniels in a night (specifically, their rock night, where a JD and coke would cost 50p) than all the other bars in Scotland would go through in a month. I have no idea if there is any truth in this.
