    Pretty sure 20 is India.

    They buy some of it still in barrels and mix it with their local brew. The first time I went to India, the factory manager booked a room in a hotel and all the department heads came to meet us. They brought in what looked like an old metal milk crate, containing sixteen bottles of whisky, despite the fact that there were only eight of us.

    The factory manager told me that it was their most popular drink, proudly declaring 'it's 50% Scottish whisky and 50% Indian petrol'.

    It tasted like it, though after four or five glasses, it started to taste okay and we got through about half the crate.

    No wonder my pancreas is ****ed.

    They kill by transmitting so are responsible for the most deaths by far. Second after them are snakes.

    Agree with mosquitoes. But what about other humans (technically animals) through murder and warfare, infectious diseases etc.
