Yup. Ireland is a country in which ALL social interaction revolves around alcohol. Because it's the norm here, I always assumed we just drank a LITTLE but more than other countries, and that the stereotype was blow out of proportion.
Then I realised that we consume HUGE amounts of alcohol...at ANY celebration, every weekend, and sometimes during the weekdays. And it's never 1 or 2 bottles...it's ALWAYS a fuckton of alcohol.
Anyway, I love drinking at weekends.
