I see my Irish cousins are doing nothing to dispel a certain cultural stereotype.

God created alcohol to keep the Irish from taking over the world.

Three pints of lager on one occasion in 30 days is considered “binge” drinking?

They forgot Belgium. Highest consumption of beer per capita.

Very true in Ireland.

I observed a lot of drunks in the cities of all the former Soviet Bloc countries. Ireland they were everywhere.

Back in 2005 I was surprised to see beer with THC added in Luxembourg. Didn’t try it as I enjoy the beer flavor more than the high.

“I see my Irish cousins are doing nothing to dispel a certain cultural stereotype.”

I believe, because I’ve never done any DNA testing, that I am mostly
Irish Swedish English and American Indian.

I had to quit drinking a little over three years ago.
I really like the whiskey and brandy.
I quit drinking because I saw what it was doing to family members.

Now I hate all alcohol.
