Can somebody please settle an argument?  I say Scotch (whiskey) should be
capitalized because it refers to a country unlike, for example, rum or beer.
Same goes for Scotch tape and Scotch eggs.  I also think it's proper to
refer to things Scottish as Scotch, as in my heritage is Scotch or I was too
Scotch to buy it.

Can I get a ruling on this, please, as I sip my Dewars?
