QuoteGoing by the 5 drink thing, yes I am a binge drinker.
I drink about 9 or 10 "drinks" in one night when I'm drinking yet I only ever drink when I'm going out.
No, i'm not
Yes, i am
Are you going for a pint or ten?
If I'm on a works bash I'll have 10-12 pints no bother but then not drink again for 2/3 weeks. I never drink at home and sometimes go without for weeks on end. At 6 4" and 16 stone I wouldn't even really notice I had 4 pints - how could that be labelled a binge?!

A load of tosspot - i hate hate hate the term. Were a social breed. We like a drink - we always have, its no more complicated than that. Drink has been around for donkeys years. People have been drunk for thousands of years.
Picture it - Youd kill a bear, drag it back to the cave, make sweet love to your cave slag, drink some distilled grass, fall over and **** in your lioncloth and vomit on your bow and arrow and when you wake up the next day youd look at the bear tied up spread eagled against the wall beside you and wonder what the fupp you did last night- Human kind has continued to flourish despite all this.
Binge Drinking is just another phrase made up to keep some underworked social commentators busy for a while until the next big thing comes along.

It's strange the survey fails to establish what it means by a "drink". As some posters have pointed out, five shandies are a far cry from five G&Ts. You'd think a Europe-wide survey would take into account the difference between measures in different countries too. Five whiskeys in Spain would be equivalent to about ten in Ireland. It's true that binge drinking is a problem in Ireland and the UK and among young people in general but it's by no means the only one. In Spain it's common to see people (particularly construction workers) start the day with a large brandy, have wine with lunch followed by another chaser and then head for the pub after they finish of an evening. In my humble opinion the latter group have a lot more to worry about.
As for myself, like Mr Ritchie I have a young lad who leaves me with no time/energy for more than a glass or two of beer after work or a drop of wine with dinner.

Best to knock Kilkenny off my list of places to go for a beer I think.Originally Posted by blobbyblob
used to drink everyday when I was younger but nowadays? not at all. Have only been out this year twice and only had about 5 or 6 pints on both occassions.
Thats it not movin to France now...how else am I meant to drink Jagemister??
answered 'yes" to this poll. Under Jack Charlton would have answerd ' no". under mccarthy 'no" under kerr ' no" .
Under staunton - any fookin substance or liquid I can get me paws on in going down the hatch, and I can still stomach most of it better than listening to that gobb-shiite.
serioulsy though - love a few pints on the week-end nights, and of a sunday afternoon. Would go stark ravin fookin mad otherwise.
On its own, love the stuff. Have never actually mixed it to be honest, actually it might be fun trying.
Tasty tack !!
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
I cant handle it on its own and I hate Redbull but if you take a can of redbull & split it between 2 glasses, then get a shot of jage and drop it into the redbull and skull. Wicked stuff. Caused an ex of mine to kiss me,and bout 6 other women at a wedding including too wives of his mates!
Handle with care!
you just know whoever came up with the idea that 5 drinks is binge drinking is a lightweight

Your liver will forgive you once or twice...

Just working up the nerve for it!
no we're not, and thats why we need to drink a week's worth of alcohol in one night in order to have some form of social life.

Who Cares?!
By that criteria I am, generally I'm not the worst, normally have times where I go over board, and times where I don't drink at all.
That said Ireland as a country does have a problem with drinking, one of them being that we can't handle it. I mean just because we can drink a few Brits and Americans under the table doesn't mean we should be classed as great drinkers, from my experiences our Europeans friends can handle their drink a lot better than we can, basically they can go out, have a good amount to drink, and not make a total arse out of themselves
I'd feel that way too if I were from Cork.
