Drinking

FFS you could fall off a half-decker tomorrow while out fishing for Pollock and drown. Enjoy YOUR life and stop worrying about others!!

You see that's the perfect example of the problem with drink.  The problem isn't filling cups with the drink or drink companies sponsoring sports or GAA clubs having bars, the problem is attitidues like this.  The attitude that you can't enjoy life or the weekend unless you have a pint or 10 and that a night out is no good unless you vomited in the street.  It's a very silly and immature attitude and the people with it normally think there's something wrong with someone who's not interested in drinking ten pints.

Get yourself a pint and some decent friends and stop stressing your head!

Yes, very poor attitude - especially the insinuation that you only have decent friends if you're all getting wasted.

Like most people, i enjoy a drink, but i'd try and steer well clear from the 'drunk Irish' stereotype.
