And they have been that way for a very long time. The country’s thermometer reading on a scale of 0-100 was 42º in 2005, only surpassed by Turkey’s 28º and compared with an average of 50º for the 10 countries surveyed (see Figure 1). The same degree of coldness towards the United States was brought out in the 16-country Pew Global Attitudes Project where only 41% of Spaniards said they had a very or somewhat favourable view of the United States. This surprises many people. After all, Spain has become a vibrant democracy and a successful market economy since the right-wing dictatorship of General Franco ended in 1975 with the death of the Generalísimo.

Snyder MARCH 2010 “Elephants… hate the mouse worst of living creatures, and if they see one merely touch the fodder placed in their stall they refuse it with disgust.” -Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 77 AD Acknowledgments Though only one name can appear on the author’s line, there are many people whose support and help made this thesis possible and without whom, I would be nowhere. First, I must thank my family. As a child, my mother and father would try to stump me with a difficult math and geography question before tucking me into bed each night (and a few times they succeeded!). Thank you for giving birth to my fascination in all things international. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Second, I must thank a set of distinguished professors. Professor Mika LaVaque-Manty, thank you for giving me a chance to prove myself, even though I was a sophomore and studying abroad did not fit with the traditional path of thesis writers; thank you again for encouraging us all to think outside the box. My adviser, Professor Jenna Bednar, thank you for your enthusiastic interest in my thesis and having the vision to see what needed to be accentuated to pull a strong thesis out from the weeds. Professor Andrei Markovits, thank you for your commitment to your students’ work; I still believe in those words of the Moroccan scholar and will always appreciate your frank advice.

  • The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages

    The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages

    The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages © 2016 Robert A. Freitas Jr. All Rights Reserved. Abstract. Specialized nanofactories will be able to manufacture specific products or classes of products very efficiently and inexpensively. This paper is the first serious scaling study of a nanofactory designed for the manufacture of a specific food product, in this case high-value-per- liter alcoholic beverages. The analysis indicates that a 6-kg desktop appliance called the Fine Spirits Synthesizer, aka. the “Whiskey Machine,” consuming 300 W of power for all atomically precise mechanosynthesis operations, along with a commercially available 59-kg 900 W cryogenic refrigerator, could produce one 750 ml bottle per hour of any fine spirit beverage for which the molecular recipe is precisely known at a manufacturing cost of about $0.36 per bottle, assuming no reduction in the current $0.07/kWh cost for industrial electricity. The appliance’s carbon footprint is a minuscule 0.3 gm CO2 emitted per bottle, more than 1000 times smaller than the 460 gm CO2 per bottle carbon footprint of conventional distillery operations today. The same desktop appliance can intake a tiny physical sample of any fine spirit beverage and produce a complete molecular recipe for that product in ~17 minutes of run time, consuming <25 W of power, at negligible additional cost.

  • Alcohol Consumption in Litres Per Capita (Age 15+)

    Alcohol Consumption in Litres Per Capita (Age 15+)

    OECD Health Statistics 2021 Definitions, Sources and Methods Alcohol consumption in litres per capita (age 15+) Annual consumption of pure alcohol in litres, per person, aged 15 years old and over. Notes: Most countries typically provide sales data as a proxy for consumption, as indicated in the methodology provided below. Caution should thus be used in interpreting the data. - Methodology to convert alcoholic drinks to pure alcohol may differ across countries. Typically beer is weighted as 4-5%, wine as 11-16% and spirits as 40% of pure alcohol equivalent. - See the summary table at the end of this document for details by country on tourist consumption, cross-border trade, unrecorded/illicit consumption, conversion factors and population data. The WHO Global Information System on Alcohol and Health (GISAH) (accessed on 22 June 2021, with data updated from 2000 onwards) has been used as a source for several OECD countries (see detailed list below). Database available at https://apps.who.int/gho/data/node.gisah.A1039?lang=en&showonly=GISAH. Other countries have supplied data directly. WHO GISAH methodology: - Recorded alcohol per capita (15+) consumption of pure alcohol is calculated as the sum of beverage-specific alcohol consumption of pure alcohol (beer, wine, spirits, other) from different sources. The first priority in the decision tree is given to government statistics; second are country-specific alcohol industry statistics in the public domain (Canadean, IWSR-International Wine and Spirit Research, OIV- International Organisation of Vine and Wine, Wine Institute, historically World Drink Trends); and third is the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' statistical database (FAOSTAT).
  • Penderyn Press Pack Nov 5Th 2018

    Penderyn Press Pack Nov 5Th 2018

    PENDERYN PRESS PACK NOV 5TH 2018 PENDERYN WHISKY: 100 YEARS IN THE MAKING Penderyn Whisky is made at the Penderyn Distillery which is located in the southern foothills of the famous Brecon Beacons National Park, north-west of Cardiff, and north- east of Swansea. Small stills existed in Wales in the 4th century, but the last whisky officially distilled in Wales was produced by the original, but short-lived Welsh Whisky Company at the Frongoch Distillery in Bala, North Wales, which closed in the early 1900s. Other notable characters in Wales’ whisky past include David Lloyd George, the only Welsh Prime Minister of Great Britain, who introduced the ‘3 year/1 day’ rule for whisky maturing; and Evan Williams (from Dale in Pembrokeshire) who was one of the founders of the American Bourbon industry. The idea for Penderyn was conceived by a group of friends sitting around a pub table in The Glancynon Inn in nearby Hirwaun, who decided to re-introduce the lost art of whisky distilling to Wales when they bought an un-commissioned whisky still designed by Dr David Faraday, a descendant of the famous Victorian scientist, Michael Faraday. Their dream was to create a world class single malt whisky. On Thursday 14 September 2000 the first distillation was carried out. The whisky is distilled in a unique single column still, producing a flavourful spirit at 92% abv which is married with water from the Brecon Beacons. The late great Master Distiller Dr Jim Swan came on board in 2002 and his vision helped create Penderyn’s unique style.

    Biochemical Perspective of Alcohol Prohibition in Islam and Implications on Legal Alcohol Content of Drinks in Islamic Countries

    BIOCHEMICAL PERSPECTIVE OF ALCOHOL PROHIBITION IN ISLAM AND IMPLICATIONS ON LEGAL ALCOHOL CONTENT OF DRINKS IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES Ahmad Houri Ali Safadi Natural Science Department, Lebanese American University. Chouran, Beirut 1102 2801. Lebanon. Email: [email protected] Abstract: An analysis of the concepts of intoxication in blood and the required amount of alcohol to reach that level was analyzed from physiological and religious perspectives. Exact value of potentially allowed alcohol concentration was determined. The results indicate a BAC of 0.05% (w/v) as a set level for intoxication. The determined pure alcohol amount required to reach this level was 27 g (for a 70 kg female) at least. Accordingly, the determined allowed alcohol concentration is 0.45% (w/v) for what would be considered non- intoxicating. This was compared to published results regarding the reported alcohol content of various foods and drinks. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to allow for variation in the considered BAC and the corresponding alcohol concentration in drinks. An analysis of alcohol content in various cooked foods showed an interesting spread in the alcohol content. A review of set legal limits in some Islamic countries is recommended. Keywords: Intoxication, BAC, alcohol concentration, drink, food, sensitivity analysis.

    Knowledge, Attitude and Consumption Pattern of Alcoholic and Sugar Sweetened Beverages Among Undergraduates in a Nigerian Institution

    www.ajbrui.net Afr. J. Biomed. Res. Vol.17 (May, 2014); 75- 82 Full Length Research Paper Knowledge, Attitude and Consumption Pattern of Alcoholic and Sugar Sweetened Beverages among Undergraduates in a Nigerian Institution Fadupin G.T., Ogunkunle M.O and Gabriel O.O Department of Human Nutrition, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan ABSTRACT High consumption of alcoholic and sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) remains a public health problem among the young adults. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude and consumption pattern of alcohol and SSBs among the undergraduate students. A pretested, self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on the socio-demographic characteristic, knowledge, attitude and consumption pattern of the students regarding the negative social and health implications of excessive consumption of alcohol and SSBs from 376 undergraduate students from the University of Ibadan. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi square at P<0.05 was considered significant. The mean age of the students was 22.5±2.3 years. Large proportion (83.0% and 86.7%) had adequate knowledge of the health implications of excessive consumption of alcohol and SSBs respectively. Majority (85.4%) had positive attitude towards intake of alcoholic drinks while 83.5% had negative attitude towards the intake of SSBs. Majority (83.0%) of the respondents considered high intake of alcoholic drinks as dangerous to health while only 32.5% considered regular consumption of SSBs as dangerous to health. Majority (75.0%, 63.3% and 79.3%) of the respondents abstained from intake of beers, alcoholic wines and spirits respectively. Significant relationship was observed between the knowledge of social and health implication of excessive consumption of alcohol and the abstinence of the participants (p<0.05).

    THE RANKING OF THE WORLD’S MILLION-CASE SPIRITS BRANDS 2019 001 Cover DI MILLIONAIRES 2019 FINAL.indd 1 04/06/2019 14:58 The millionaires’ JUNE 2019 DRINKSINT.COM 3 COMMENT The volume game Regardless of Trump’s tariff wars, Brexit and other socio-economic issues, the spirits industry is thriving. And once again The Millionaires’ Club bears witness to the movements of million-case spirits brands all over the globe. Ninety-two of the 153 millionaire brands listed in the 2019 supplement demonstrate an increase in volumes, so the industry shows no signs of slowing down. The biggest volume players are always from Asia due to the huge populations and brand loyalty in major markets, with soju’s Jinro now boasting 87m cases. But it’s also been fascinating to see Diageo’s Indian brandy Men’s Club virtually double in growth despite it showing decline over the previous four years. Looking at Europe, Martell has had a great year. A huge 18% growth shows how cognac is returning to its former glory in terms of international sales and the same can almost be said for vodka in the US as it appears the market is no longer in free-fall, with many of the big players returning to growth. It’s possible that volume sales will dwindle in importance as future generations of consumers continue to drink less but better – quality over quantity. The assets may shrink and the players may change, but this game of volumes isn’t going to end any time soon.
