So does everyone who is from the Uk or Ireland like to drink booze constantly??

Question

I know what a stereotyped question, but I think so! My first husband who was from Ireland was a complete drunk at a young age... all his Irish friends were the same... drinking.. all day.... till the pub closes.

I still have friends who are from the UK andthey say this is the culture!>> Does anyone else find this shocking?

Answer 1

No don't drink all the time, now and again  have a few sociable few.  But drinking is a big thing in Ireland and thats cos not alot else to do.

Answer 2

Well that is a stereotype, I'm from, Ireland, I live down South, so i must be a drunk. WELL MY FRIEND. I have been to America, many times and it seems that you are not so innocent of the crime you are calling foul on. It is  problem here as it is in many countries, and i suspect that your husband is not Irish, but American, with some kind of Irish breeding, have you ever taken the time to vist this so called drunken nation, i suspect not, i do like  pint or two now and again, but like 99% of my country men and women we do not walk around in a drunken haze from an early age.    I know this is a sterotyped question, but i think so, my first wife, who was from america was completly stupid, all her american friends were the same, asking stupid questions, didn't know where ireland  was on the map, thought that europe was a country. I still have friends from canada and they say this is the culture, that all americans are just thick stupid......... does anybody else find  this shocking............ DOES THIS MEAN YOU ARE STUPID.....

Answer 3

I'm from Australia and i quite like alcohol thanks :)

Answer 4

From the tone of your question, I think  I'd become a raging alcho if I married you....just so you know, water seeks it's own level

Answer 5

ur name says it all doesn't it Miss Pissy !!

Just coz a couple of irish ppl have a taste for the auld drink it does NOT mean all Irish or uk ppl like to get drunk.

Grow up will ya & get sum sense !!

Answer 6

well firstly let me tell you that you are ignorant.  secondly - ever hear of the phrase "dont tar everyone with the same brush"??

No, not everyone from Ireland drinks constantly!!

you are ignorant, just because you have a "few" friends that drink a lot ... what about the other 4 million Irish people ???

EDIT : You ARE STUPID....you must be American ??(because from what i hear they are stupid) Not nice to be stereotyped is it ??

Answer 7

Cool Rain????? I think you mean coleraine

And no, were not all beer drinking guzzlers, our culture consists of many more things than just alcohol.

the friendliest people in the world are Irish, and if your husband was a "complete drunk" from a young age, why did you marry him?

Why not come and find out for yourself what were all about.

There's things I find in many other countries alot worse than going to the pub for a few drinks with friends, and they are alot more shocking!!

Answer 8

Its the culture down in the south of Ireland. Its accepted there so not shocking. Sad but thats tha way.

Answer 9

... Yes all of the 64827148 people in Ireland and the UK are EXACTLY like your husband and his couple of friends

Do you realise this question has made you sound very ignorant?

I'd be a little embarrassed if I were you ...
