    I saw the graph and was going to say it's the light...as we all know here in Seattle. Scandinavian countries have high taxes, yes, but they have really dark winters. The less polar US, Australia & New Zealand have more light...but then I saw Ireland low on the suicide thing. Guiness as an antidepressant? Now I'm a bit confused...
