It's a brand new year, rife with possibility. What to do? Where to start?

• How about last year? Minimum drink pricing is back on the agenda, with its predictable supporters and detractors. Some might see minimum pricing as a stealth tax against the poorest sections of society; others look at the estimated £900 that alcohol abuse costs every person in Scotland.
• How about further back? Like 200,000 years ago? Apparently the caveman lifestyle is all the rage - in NYC.
• The Bronx Beer Caves.
• The Washington Post on the indescribable taste - and expense - of cognac.
• Oh Gosh! on Mozart Dry - unsweetened chocolate spirit.
