The French are the drunks now and the Irish are sobering up? Current data suggests so and shows a 16% decrease in overall alcohol consumption from Ireland’s all-time high 15 years ago. The once proud Irish tradition of getting so smashed you piss your pants, knocking your wife up and out, and then repent on Sunday may be nearing the path of the dinosaurs.
Hopefully, Ireland’s continues its economic turnaround and can reclaim its infamous notoriety as the drinking capital of the world in the process.
