40% of Scottish inmates drank Buckie, a caffeinated wine made by monks, before they got arrested

While it’s not popular among the general Scottish population—Buckfast makes up less than half a percent of all alcohol sales—over 40 percent of prison inmates surveyed by the Scottish Prison Service reported having drunk some quantity of the stuff before their last offense.

Doesn’t sound like an apples to apples comparison. What overall percentage of the Scottish population has drunk “some quantity” of Buckie in the past? Pretty sure it’s going to be more than the implied half a percent.
