I did hear that it was good for hangovers.
Heath, I just looked further at the Wiki entry, and they confirm that what is available in the US and Canada is NOT the same as the real stuff. 2 of the ingredients are banned by the FDA in the US and the importers either remove it, affecting the taste, or have it brewed differently, again affecting the taste. Same for Canada, but it is only one ingredient that is forbidden.

Guess I'll wait until my trip to Scotland to try it...
