    Great quantities of drink were consumed in Glasgow at this time(1740)with wine shops proliferating everywhere, the staple drink being cheap wine followed by beer. The real poor could not, of course, afford this mixture and sought solace in a daily brew of cheap wine and methylated spirits called 'Red Biddy'.
