...York City's Spanish Harlem, the highs come cheap. To create a "blunt," teenagers slice open a cigar and mix the tobacco with marijuana. To enhance the hit, they fashion "B-40s" by dipping the cigar in malt liquor. In Atlanta, police observed 100 teenagers and young adults at a rave party in an abandoned house -- the rage among middle-class youths everywhere with money to burn -- and their rich assortment of hooch: pot, uppers, downers, heroin, cocaine and Ecstasy, a powerful amphetamine. In Los Angeles, Hispanic gangs chill out by dipping their cigarettes in PCP (phencyclidine, an animal tranquilizer...
...Heilman Brewing Co. learned that the hard way when protests from the black community caused the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to revoke its approval of a potent malt liquor whose primary consumers were expected to be black males. Similar protests caused R.J. Reynolds to snuff out a new cigarette specifically designed to attract black smokers.

Single malts are as different from one another as Burgundy wines are from Bordeaux: a soft, sweetish Lowland malt like Auchentoshan is a wholly different taste experience from Laphroaig, one of the tangy, medicinal whiskies produced on the isle of Islay (pronounced EYE-la). Part of the appeal of these whiskies, in fact, is their craggy names. Once you've learned...
...survey by the Scotch Whisky Information Center in the U.S. concluded that single-malt fanciers are younger, more affluent and better educated than drinkers of blended Scotch. "People may be drinking less," says Peter Smith, the center's director, "but they are savoring more." Connoisseurs may eventually have more malts to savor. Several "silent" (mothballed) distilleries have lately sprung back to life. And next month Schenley < Affiliated Brands, an American subsidiary of Britain's United Distillers (Guinness), takes over U.S. distribution of six U.D.(G.)-owned malts. As a quick guide to the range of malt tastes, Schenley will sell...
