You know us Irish-Americans drink more than the actual Irish?

Read a book about building the transcontinental railroad. They one company started in the east (Dt. Louis) and one in then west (Sacramento) using Irish and Chinese labor respectively. The eastern company suffered more setbacks due to illness because the Irish drank water (in the morning, at least). The Chinese drank tea, which required boiling the water. Killed the microbes, you see.

A little scoop of plaster mix
Some coffee grounds and mud
And then she stirred it with the ladle
That her Grandmother had bought her
Threw in a pot of melted wax
A forefoot and a hoof
Apple core, worms galore
And a can of some corrosive
Bag it
Tag it
Sell it to the butcher in the store

Only because there's more of you. On a one-to-one basis I think the 'actual Irish' would win hands down. |

As a friend of mine who has traveled widely has said, Europeans drink more daily, but Americans have a bad habit of binging. It is not pretty. Couple that with growing up being stereotyped throughout ones life as a drinker because of their heritage and presto. Wow, that brought me back to Sociology class. Now considering how much of that alcohol has a bad habit of winding up out of the system,  it is most likely that a European when placed in the same situation could and most likely would outdrink an American. |

I think we should put this to teh test. Everybody, report your nationality and have a shot of whatever consumable alcohol you have at home. Ready, Set, Go!

Scots-Irish-Cherokee-Creek (forget the exact numbers, but it's something like 1/16 Cherokee/Creek, 1/4 Irish, some scots, and the rest is Germanic).
And as I'm a good ol' boy, born and bred in the south, I'm takin' shine!
*Does shot of shine, chases it with Brandy, and chases that with Creme de Caco*
Now to take my meds for the night...

Finally after many hours in deep thought I have developed a trick question and the answer to it.
"Would you consider yourself an intellectual person or a philosophical person?"

...that is 1/4-1/3 absinthe...  No actually I do agree with you. When we left the farm one of things we did was fill some jugs up with the tap water, it was great stuff. |

Mess up my absinthe with WATER? For SHAME, sir, SHAME!!! I take it neat. Not exactly the PROPER way, but I like to get vashnigyered QUICK, so, absinthe neat, Jager neat, rum and brandy chasers... Or, just start nursing a jug o' shine early on... |

All other liquors I drink neat, but absinthe needs that little extra attention. Unless I'm in a rush, which is never good with absinthe. Of course I have been flagged at a bar in New Orleans while drinking the stuff.....

I drink for two reasons
A) I like the flavour
and
2) I want to get vashnigyered.
Absinthe tastes like liquorice candy. I like that flavour. The stronger the better. Ergo, I usually don't cut it. Oh, I do if I'm at a party or something-just because I want it to LAST, but if I'm on the mission to get plastered quickly, DOWN THE HATCH IT GOES!!!
Ne're had the pleasure of going to Nawlins, not yet, leastwise. One day, perhaps. I'd like to participate in the "Stella" yelling competition-although I doubut I could outdo the fellow what was yelling "FEMA!!!! FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" the year right after Katrina.
First and only time it was won by someone yelling something other than Stella (or so says my history Professor, Dr. Lewis over at WSSU).

Dang it Xenos you are making me thirsty and the bar is only 4 blocks away.... No, I need to be good for once considering how many men I pissed off on Friday. It's not my fault they creeped a girl out and she came to me for protection. What's a gentleman to do? |
