Drinks giant Diageo is pouring fresh investment into its gin brands, Gordon’s and Tanqueray, to take advantage of a surprise surge in sales of the spirit in hard-hit economies such as Spain and the UK.
If they're willing to up the production, I'm willing to up the consumption.

They do seem to know what they're up to. I hear things have picked up a lot at Bushmills since Diageo took over. I guess less people are working and more people are drinking instead, despite the official stats claiming the opposite which would also explain the eerie silence in the QA forum. As I only really drink ![Java | [Coffee]](/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) I guess I shall have to go and write some code.

That would be assuming that you step up consumption in reaction to thier step up in production, on CP we believe that its your consumption that has caused them to up production
(it is possible as diagio is not the only supplier of Nagy's tipples)

Didn't you take a trip recently to Spain?
Perhaps Diageo should just plan their distributions around where you'll be at any given point in time.
