Mike,

The Brits have really bizarre needs to tax all forms of alcohol. They even
add tax to the liqueur chocolates that are sold.

Whenever any of my relatives come to visit they nearly fall over at how
cheap booze is here. On their way to the UK the flight takes almost an hour
longer. Some claim it is the headwinds. I am firmly convinced that it is
all the booze in the luggage hold.
