Is it something in our drink

    Was in town on Saturday night and I was not drinking alcohol so my senses were a little bit more alert.
    What I noticed was a group of Eastern European girls who were sitting in one corner drinking steadily,a group of Asian ladies by tge bar dancing and drinking and then the rest of the bar was mainly Irish ladies.
    As the night progressed,the Asians continued dancing,the Eastern Europe girls were chatting but slowing down and I witnessed two fights between Irosh ladies,another argument over spilt drink,a girl getting sick by the sofa,another crying about something,another going ballistic looking for her purse when it was in front of her and a few roaring abuse at passers by in the bar.
    Outside I parked the car near the town centre,I had the pleasure of witnessing another argument,had to ask some young one was she alright as she was bent over on the curb hurling pewk and had to dodge a few of them on the road as they casually walked in from of my car.
    My point being why can other girls from different races or countries go out and not get hammered and problematic,is it our fighting Celtic genes or an excess culture or am I just unlucky to witness this in one night and it's a freak event?

    because we drink too much.

    Westlife concert may have been responsible for a lot of it, but it's still fairly common.

    I've noticed that most people who act the bollox drunk, also have a tendancy to act the bollox when they are sober. You just mainly see them doing it around or shortly after drink and associate it with the drink.

    No not new but just don't go out do much anymore,tired of the pub scene long ago and I think I had just forgotten what it was like and how unappealing it can be in pubs at times also I was a little embarrassed for some of the ladies who clearly don't act like this you would hope on there every day to day life.

    Why do asians drive over little girls in the street........... Why are Eastern European countries full of skinhead gangs............ These answers at 11.

    The Irish girls probably polished off a bag o'naggins before heading to the pub.

    Was there a Boards Beers in Galway on Saturday?? May explain it :pac:

    I was in Galway city on Saturday night too. I was out with about 20 people - a good chunk of whom were Irish ladies. The bar was packed and again, a big percentage of customers were Irish women. I saw people having a good time, lots of laughing, lots of chatting, and some dancing.

    I guess you were just unlucky :)

    Island nation, crappy weather, colonial oppression, catholic repression, how could getting locked not be on the agenda.

    Irish men and women drink too much and on a regular basis. It's bad for our health and makes a mess of the place and of each other. In the continent there is a more mature and relaxed attitude to enjoying yourself.
    Here you get people getting over excited the more they drink until you'd think the world was ending tomorrow with the rate of shots and the like being done.
    Not my friends though. And not everyone else is like that, but it's there in our culture and easy enough to see if you go out any given night.

    Was drinking not too far from Croker myself on Friday & Saturday and I have to say I didn't see any trouble/puking/tomfoolery from those going to the concert. Just a lot of excited women looking forward to going to see Westlife and I hope they enjoyed it!

    Your spot on there but I would never take notice of the fellas being a male and they probably were acting the maggot as well I just zoned in on the ladies as it was so different the behaviour between tge Irish lasses and the foreigners.
    I know Irish guys are no saints on any given night but I look at my mothers generation and I just know they were not like this,it's nice to see Irish ladies having a drink enjoying a good night out but I like a classy lady and one that behaves herself not being a nuisance same would go for myself and my mates I will have a word with a friend if he is acting the bollix but in a way where it won't kill his buzz,I just didn't see this from the ladies they let their friends act like this and even egged on one of the fights til a bouncer stepped in.

    I honestly reckon, judging by some of the lads I knew back home who got saddled with mares from abroad, that alot of these lads have some sort of deep hatred to attractive Irish women based on years of rejection and cant believe their luck that some, at best, ugly to mildly attractive Latvian has parked the bus and taken over half their income. Honestly, I cant ever recall anyone in the real world bak home downing Irish women to the extent you see on this board.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    So essentially you're asking why the irish can't handle their drink, like asian's do?
    You're not from this dimension are you?

    Indeed. tbh for the average Korean girl to attempt to drink 20% of an Irish girls typical night out intake would be nothing short of a suicide attempt. They get giddy on their second short, never mind 16 more of them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    Will this ever get old? Foreign girls are hotter, foreign girls are skinnier, foreign girls don't get so drunk.

    Some Irish girls will go out and get drunk and do stupid stuff, but guess what? Some won't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,571 ✭✭✭Red_Wake


    Where are these pissed up slags when I'm out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Some people just can't handle their liquor, it doesn't matter what sex or nationality they are. Having said that you could argue that the drinking culture ingrained in Irish society mean scenes like you witnessed or more common in Ireland than elsewhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Isn't it funny how only Irish women get drunk and act obnoxiously, whereas Irish men never...

    Oh, wait.

    Listen to this man, he should know, going by his name.
