The Irish are among the heaviest drinkers in Europe, consuming 20.5 litres (4.5 gallons) of pure alcohol per adult, and spending 1,940 euros on drinks yearly for every Irish person aged over 15.

Yeah, plus we're way cool! but don't piss us off when we're drunk, especially if we're on the rye, that's just suicidal. - Mon, 25 Apr 2005 2:04pm

I like how beer = drunk, but rye = "on the rye". I challenge anyone to go and drink a bottle of Royal Reserve and not fight. - Mon, 25 Apr 2005 3:21pm

Which beer store you at? I'm at the new 6 mile store. No good stories like that yet but I did do a delivery for Dine In at 2 pm one day. The guy ordered some food and a 26 of Southern Comfort. I was greeted at the hotel room door by a shirtless man. The room reaked of sweat. I could see several empty bottles of S.C. behind him.

After he paid for his order he invited me in. Several times. *still shuddering* I'm so glad I don't do that job anymore. - Fri, 29 Apr 2005 12:03am

Don't get me started on freaky delivery stories... I have a million of them

...well, I don't really want to write them all down, that would take forever, besides most of mine are more like my rants about really irritating people, only about half are interesting or funny(and most of those are about shoplifters!) like this one guy who stole a $65 bottle of whiskey ran out to the parking lot, got on his bike, started to peddle away, then fell and broke the bottle!....that was beyond awesome! - Sun, 1 May 2005 10:51am
