Are the Kiddush Clubs in danger?
A while back, the OU tried to put a stop to the popular Kidush Club phenomena in shuls. They say that aside from the disturbance, and aside form the disrespect shown when walking out during the haftorah (or whenever), it also promotes alcoholism and encourages the youth to drink.
I don't know how successful they were in their attempt to put an end to the Kiddush Club, but they are now receiving a big boost from international diplomacy.
Because Scotland agreed to release the Lockerbie bomber, many people and organizations upset over this are calling for a boycott on Scottish products, including, and mostly, Scotch Whiskies.
if they succeed, that might be the death knell of the Kiddush Club.
Of course, Kiddush Clubs that drink bourbon will not be affected by such a ban.

time to switch to bourbon
I always enjoy answering surveys on the telephone, though I rarely get the good political surveys. Tonight I answered a phone call and it was a survey. The questioner asked a wide range of questions, ranging from pension funds, to newspapers, to religion, to lotto and more.
one question in the middle that she asked was if I light Hannukah candles every day or just sometimes. I responded that I only light Hanukka candles every day of Hannuka, but not every day...she chuckled...
In other news, the city council of Edinburgh (that would be in Scotland) has announced they will be cancelling a contract with Mei Eden, an Israeli mineral water company based on the Golan Heights. They are cancelling the contract because Mei Eden is guilty of pillaging Syria's natural resources for profit...
In the talkbacks on the >Ynet article, people suggest boycotting Scotch as revenge. I cannot see that being successful. A Jew giving up scotch? Would never happen. Though I think all Jews should switch to bourbon anyways....
