Fella I work with, goes for a few pints at least three times a week, says he has an average of about ten pints a week. Is it me or is that madness? Guy is in his early 30s.

10 a week sounds like a very European number. They seem to socialise over beer in a way we don't. Couple of beers a few nights a week and they go home. Don't get the point but I think they actually like beer whereas a lot of Irish, beer is just a part of the night out

Also, the person above is an idiot. In a lot of ways socialising over a few beers is a better use of time than a gym workout. The gym is self consumed and a means to an end, its.solitaru and unsociable. Having a pint with some friends and having a laugh is living

*I say that as someone who drinks very rarely but when you think about it, one is much more fulfilling than the other.

It's nice going for a beer or two and not getting ****faced.

I think, he thinks you're looking down on his lifestyle by saying he's doing something wrong and that he'll regret it in his 50's. My guess anyway

Well he shouldn't have made it about himself then if he didn't want people to comment on his lifestyle. This is a forum for discussion, not a blog.

If he has the time and money, work away.

It's good because your week becomes more lived. If you just wait to get ****faced every Saturday, the weeks and months will go by very quickly.
Going to the pub for a drink, some grub and a chat should be celebrated. That's our culture. Coffee and whatever else are good too but having a beer is something our ancestors have done for hundreds of years and it's a part of the way we socialise.

A blog in one sentence? You're full of guff. Also, you were in your 'sixties' on another thread. The mask is slipping.

It's OK to have 8 pints in a week if it's every 3 weeks I guess? But 10 is wrong.

10 pints a week isn't much for people of a certain age and/or socio-economic profile.

If you're still drinking that much by your mid-20s you're probably not on the fast track to anywhere. Although it's never acknowledged in tabloids or After Hours, there is a huge section of Irish society which simply never goes near a pub. We get married, raise families, have careers, enjoy family events and, generally speaking, the sort of married couples who go to pubs on a quotidian basis would be from poorer, less educated areas.

But this "boring" Ireland doesn't fit into the "The more drunk an Irish person is the more fun he is" narrative embraced by every vacuous aimless imbecile going. The vast majority of drunk Irish people I meet are just overbearingly obnoxious. After 2 or 3 pints, idiocy, not "fun", becomes more pronounced. And if you need alcohol to have "fun"...

4 pints on a Friday night
4 pints on a Saturday night
2 pints on a Sunday afternoon

Hahahah surely a piss take. I'm from a posh area and 10 pints would be an average night for my mates

Isn't the reason they dont near a pub is there knocking back bottles of wine while the kids are asleep?

You might be dead from other reasons by 60, and he could still be going for his 10 pints when he's 96

This must be a wind up thread. I'd run about 5k every morning before work few pints Thurs Fri Sat. About 10 pint a week. Doesn't seem much, plenty of exercise enjoy myself and have a decent career in IT
