A couple of years ago, the Beeb showed Bruce Springsteen's "Seeger Sessions" documentary. Featured were some 12 or so other musicians playing traditional songs as well as some of Seeger's own. It was fine music played by skilled musicians. Very enjoyable.

A group of men and women were visiting the Niagara falls. The ladies were busy talking among themselves and the guide welcomed them "I welcome you all to the Niagara Falls, the World's largest waterfalls. The sound intensity of the falls is so high that even if 20 supersonic planes pass by together, you wouldn't hear their noise."
One of the men turns to the women and says "Now ladies! Will you please keep quiet so that we can hear the Niagara Falls?"

That map's clearly defective. Looking at it you'd think that Nagy was living in the Netherlands. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Austria was Hungary, took a bit of Turkey, dipped it in Greece, cooked it in Japan and ate it off China.
That just came hurtling into my memory from somewhere long, long ago.

I realize that beer is not a liquor. But I would say in the states it is the most consumed.

Amazing, I didn't think there was that much Irish Whiskey in the world!
I would have thought Scotch Whisky would have been more popular though.

Just out of curiosity, since I don't care about either (see above post):
Is there really a difference or is it merely linguistical bickering?

with an "e" it's Irish, without it's Scottish. The inference from the map is Irish Whiskey is nicer than Scottish Whisky.
Personally, I generally prefer the latter.

Try asking for Scotch Whisky in Glasgow. Then accuse everyone of being a bunch of great wallopers.

Back in the day most Glasgow drinkers would just ask for "a beer an' a half".

Scotch Whisky is one of the finest beverages ever to pass the lips of man. Irish Whiskey, on the other hand (or glass), is very nice but it is quite a different drink, and certainly does not have anywhere near the market share suggested by that website.
