'A Scotsman will never ask for a "Scotch", unless he is abroad and in danger of being served with a foreign imposter. Often the dram is not sipped and savoured, but tossed down in a single reviving gulp. In the old days, when the licensing laws were restrictive, there was no time for leisurely drinking.'
