I would pay to see that. There is this irish family that lives down the street. they're always drunk, and there cooler than most sober people. The son is always in trouble for fighting. It has become such a joke that the police dont even arrest him anymore. I was talking to him one time and mentioned somthing along the lines of his family staying drunk. He said that "naw, we dont get drunk. We jus take the edge off" He said that he has only seen his father drunk once. Meanwhile, i see him drunk all the time. I thought at the time it was denial. However, now I am thinking maybe tehre are two different definitions of drunk...the irishi's and the rest of the worlds. Never met an Irish person i can out drink, and thats a fact. I heard dublin kicks ass, i need to go there and be taught the ways of drinking
