the pub is a major social scene in ireland as the weather permits little else, but the stereotypical view of irish people being constantly drunk is far from the truth, i'd say were more part time boozers, we make our weekends count!!

Beer and Pubs are a big part of Irish Culture. Irish people grow up with these traditions from childhood. Since America is not like this people think they are alcoholics.
