A new study published in The Lancet has revealed that on average Irish people continue to drink more year-on-year.
According to the research, alcohol intake in Ireland has risen from 12.3 litres in 2010 to 13.2 litres in 2017.
That’s more than double the global average of 6.5 litres, which is based on studies from 189 countries across the world.
The study found 84% of Irish adults drink alcohol, with Ireland boasting one of the highest per capita consumption rates in Europe.
IRELAND’S ANNUAL alcohol consumption continues to rise, despite notable decreases across the rest of Europe.
It also revealed that the proportion of current drinkers in Ireland has risen from 82% of adults to 84% over the past seven years.
By contrast, the proportion of adults who commit to lifetime abstinence has dropped from 11% to 9%.

I probably only drink a couple of times a year now, but when I did drink, I was way above the average of twice as much.
Ethnic stereotypes exist for a reason.

From the “water is wet” archive. In other news, the media is biased to the left.
We’re Number One!
An old one I probably learned here:
An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman are sitting at a bar drinking beer.
A fly lands in the Englishman’s beer. The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his beer aside and calls for another one.
The next thing you know, the pesky fly lands in the Scotsman’s beer. The Scotsman doesn’t look too pleased either, but he removes the fly with a casual flick of his finger and keeps drinking.
Just then, the Irishman notices that the fly has landed in his beer. Turning bright red with irritation, the Irishman reaches into his glass, pinches the fly in between two fingers and yells at him, “spit it out, you wee bastard, spit it out!”
If you woke up one day and discovered that you were Irish, you’d drink, too!
