knacker drinking.

Omar187

So drinking outside or knacker drinking (as its called) lots of us done it, When growing up, but who called it knacker drinking, and why?
I sure had some great times out knacker drinking in the past,
With the bees and birds and all that.
Your thoughts please.

Who would you be offending, the Bushes aka the George's?!

Tell us your stories in the bushes poster, don't have fear

I don't really remember a lot, but I know great times were had! We did it no matter what the weather - I do remember many a night freezing my arse off in the name of cheap inebriation.

Bushing means something completely different in Dublin.

What do knackers call the activity that is knacker drinking?

Drinking?!

Bushing means something different here as well (young wans in short skirts, or something!) but could have been used to describe the act of bush lushing.

There was nothing quite like meeting anything for 100-200 people in a field all drinking in the dark. Making friends not quite sure what they looked like. The worst was when the guards arrived once and a guy cut his ball sac out on a razor wire fence running from the guards.

I quite enjoy open-air drinking, and I can't wait til I move to Germany in a few months, where it is legal.

I used love knacker drinking.

There was point when it was all i wanted to do in life, but i slowly realised that i would have to work do this. I tried the whole Monday to Friday work thing but i just couldn't do it. I luckily enough got a part time job in a barber shop sweeping the hair from the floor. The two barbers where very fast and the hair would always be amounting on the ground, i very rarely got a break during the summer months when all the boys wanted their head shaved.

One day i went knacker drinking and woke up hungover - really hungover. I was an hour late for work. I got up and ran down to the barbers shop. It was Saturday morning - the busiest time of the week. I turned the corner and i didn't believe what i could see. There was a young chap sweeping up the hair from the floor. My dream job -gone. All because i went knacker drinking.

Have done it in the past. Now just drink in one of the lads houses, but have gone drinking in fields. It's not really "knacker drinking" once you turn 18, though.

I have a feeling Tom Cruise went on to bigger and better things.

Do you wish to be known as "Captain Slow Ireland" or "Captain Slow In Real Life"?

I never went knacker drinking until after I turned 18, now it'd be my drinking method of choice. Unfortunately we haven't the weather for it!

I used to knacker drink back in the day and still do every now and again.. it's usually all good if you have the warm weather for it..if it's cold just wrap up! cheaper than the pub, once ya don't make much noise and clean up after yourself you're usually alright. It can be good craic with a good group of friends!

hatrickpatrick

Did it back then, still do it now, think it's absolutely ridiculous that it's not allowed.
As usual, Irish laws are completely blunt instruments which hurt both criminals and decent people alike. F*ck Dublin City Council. :mad:

Haven't done it since I was about 15, used to sit in a field every Friday night trying to drink as much Linden Village as I could before going into the teenage disco, like I was having a game of chicken with my stomach

Straight up to the off licence after school on a Friday, Waiting for someone to go in and get us the naggins and cans.

Bag of cans in hand, radio, down the beach or in a field.Getting a fire going when it got cold.

Mooching all the ladies, A nice bit of topping and Getting the stinky finger.

They were the best times of my life.

Great memories. So drunk on one occasion that I fell over on my side while doing a wee down a lane and fell asleep! Kissing boys, smoking, running from police and all round craic with mates with not a care in the world!

I used to take a little from every bottle of spirits in my parent's house with the Baileys curdling on top. Fisherman's Fcuk it was called round my way! Puking was guaranteed. Twas a right of passage.

The whole thing knocked some sense into me and taught me my limits and by the time I hit 18 and the pubs, I wasn't making a holy show of myself like the less rebellious (:cool:) of my class mates.

Some great nights out, started as bushin sessions. Getting drink in O'learys offie in Salthill using the worst fake ID ever seen and heading up to the park or down to the beach. Relaxing as the sun set, having the craic with the lads and then headin down Salthill to the Warwick,the Oasis or the Castle.
Brilliant nights

I still do it!.

I often take the dogs up to the fields with a few can's, sure they're gas after a gargle :pac:

But seriously, I love a few cans when I take Richo and Ruby for their walkies in summer.

I hope you all get banned.

Loved it. Great Craic.

If you go knacker drinkin' do you go home stinking of beer and burnt sticks?
