Yeah Eddy, I liked the guy as well.

Don't be perpetuating the myth of the drunken Irishman cliche and equating us Irish with drunks. There is a lot of research to show that we drink less per week than the average Frenchman, Italian, Pole, Czech, German, you name it.

It's just that we drink it all the one night!!!!
