Can the Irish handle and enjoy alcohol better than other nations...? (56)
pedro27: Back in the throughout history instead of water the Irish drank homemade brew/beer, because the water was dirty and unfit to drink....so they drank brew and were merry, so I believe its in our genes/bloodline from our fore fathers in this land to handle it better than the rest of the world and enjoy it more too, past down to this current day...

The sober ones jumped on a boat?
It's Anglicized Ireland which drinks more anyway. Where we made the biggest in-roads hundreds of years ago is where people drink the most today, and wherever remained solidly Celt drinks the least. The less Irish drink more than the more Irish.

The Irish who mingled with the English - whether that's by blood or cricket - are the Irish who drink the most.
You're into dogs: the pedigree Irish drink less than the mongrel Irish.

It's not a racial/ethnic disposition towards alcohol - although such a thing can indeed exist - or anything to do with the weather or the Church. There are complex cultural and historical factors behind Ireland's drink problem.
I would also argue that drinking along with all social problems in Ireland are exacerbated by brain drain. Many of the more aspirational and arguably functional Irish left and more of the idiots and jokesters will have stayed. It is a case where mass emigration leaves a country imbalanced and disturbed.

how is enjoying ones self a problem by having a pint? I mean there are pubs in every country serving beer I bet..... wish I was there in south Africa having a glass of wine and a elephant steak with unlI would also argue that drinking along with all social problems in Ireland are exacerbated by brain drain.
