Many moons ago in the the village the local drunk "paddy" was staggering down the street at midday, 3 sheets to the wind. The local parish priest was coming down on the opposite side and seeing Paddy shouts at him "drunk again Paddy".....to which paddy replies......"so am I father"
The same priest was taking a walk in the countryside. He spotted one of his parishioners in a field manhandling a ewe from behind. He shouts out "Good morning Micheal! Are you shearing?" Mick replied "No Father! You'll have to get your own!".
There's an old Welsh proverb, "Drink is the scourge of the land. It makes you wrangle with your landlord. It makes you shoot at him. And it makes you miss."🤣🤣
That is an extraordinary blast from the past. I knew Dr Seán O Chonchúbhair well as he was GP for Oranmore for several decades in the 1960's to the 1990's when I was a child living in that village. That man saved my life with a diagnosis for acute appendicitis in 1971. My case lacked the usual high fever present in such cases but he was quick to spot the unusual case and got me into hospital in double quick time to make a successful intervention. Dr John, as he was known by most people in that English speaking village, was a very well respected and outspoken advocate on public health and safety long before such things were fashionable or even wanted in general social discussion.
I remember walking home and only realised how drunk I was when I notice everyone was crossing the road to avoid me. I was just trying to avoid the lampposts.
So you can remember walking home. So you couldn't really have been too bad. I recall a few times waking up the following morning wondering how the F did I get home. 🙄🙈
Still, I have heard of people who accidentally killed themselves or others due to being drunk... falling down the stairs, driving etc... especially drunk driving
Two of my distant cousins were found dead in their seats when they fell asleep after a high consumption of drink. They choked on their stomach contents while in a deep sleep which often occurs after long drinking sessions. I have had to look after some of my friends in my early drinking days after a night of hard drinking when they fell asleep. The trick is to turn them over with their face downwards so that any regurgitation will drain out and not block the airway. This is called the recovery position. Every drinker or "hard party" person should know these simple life-saving techniques and also not be afraid to challenge unwise behaviour such as drunk people attempting to walk home alone or ,worse, take their cars home. The problem with drink is that after a few drinks judgement and inhibitions fly out the window and people will do things they would not dream of doing when sober.
It's a good thing that the interviewee here highlighted the dangers of going to bed while drunk The solution is clearly to stay up all night and drink some more
All very innocent given what became the new normal from the boom years on thanks to special arrangements between rural pubs and their local guards. A very different Ireland.
Before the Romans invaded Gaul(modern day France) they sent wine traders ahead, well in advance of the invasion. This was how wine was introduced to France. Romans diluted their wine with water, the Gauls drank it straight. The Romans knew the dangers of drink.
Not sure how true this is (as I’ve not seen the actual stats to back this) but, apparently, we (Irish & British) spent more on booze than houses. Meaning we got paid enough to buy a house and then the rest was spent on drinking and the rest.
This reminded me of the very first time I witnessed or came to comprehend what being drunk meant - even though I did not realise it until later. In the early 60's my favourite pass time was to stand at the gate of our house watching all the cars and trucks go by as I was car mad even at the age of 4. I recall seeing a man walking home along the footpath in a slow and rather strange way. As he came closer to our house he walked in our gate and into our house without saying anything. It gradually became apparent to me that it was my dad. He sat on a chair in the kitchen without even taking off his coat and promptly fell asleep. I thought he must be sick as this was very unusual for my dad. Next thing out of the blue he had an explosive bout of vomiting which covered almost half the kitchen floor. His brand new coat was ruined too and the odour of alcohol never left it again. I panicked as I could not figure out what was going on. The smell of the drink was horrible. It turned me off alcohol for life and I never go into pubs unless its unavoidable and have an abiding hatred of publicans to this very day. Legalised drug pushers with no regard for the poverty and family hardships they cause - a view not diminished in my 31 years as a Garda.
Very true Roger,the other side of the coin though is nobody put a gun to these mens heads made these men go into the pubs and spend all of their wages,I’m not condoning their behaviour in any way shape or form, and I have also a dislike for pub landlords as they did make a fortune out off these unfortunate gobshites.
Alcoholism is a very emotive and difficult thing to define and catagorise accurately. As in most things in life people differ. I am currently on an abstention exercise which I carry out some Novembers when I feel the need to do so. My own personal relationship with alcohol is not good and I need to find out if I have an "off" switch for alcohol. I gave up cigarettes in the 1990's for similar reasons. Public oprobium against tobacco was becoming more intense and smoking in the workplace had just been banned. The habit was more trouble than it was worth. After 5 or 6 attempts I finally said goodbye to tobacco in 1990. It was the hardest thing I did in my life. The current public discourse surrounding minimum unit pricing, increasing awareness of the health dangers of excessive consumption and my own personal consumption patterns have made me take the course of going off drink for November. This used to be a practice in my home village, even among hardened drinkers who would go to the pub every night. I do not know when or where the practice originated but there was even then a social awareness and antipathy towards excessive drinking which some acknowledged and others ignored.
I walked home drunk one night. Everything was fine. Got into bed next morning a sharp pain came from my leg. I twisted my ankle. Sore for 4 weeks but I could still walk.
Did that myself...fell over the doorstep into the house. Ankle so sore I crawled up the stairs to bed. Next morning agony...hopped down the stairs and taken to A&E... broken leg!!
It's doctors like him that are taking all the fun out of Ireland. I can honestly say that I got more out of the drink than the drink got out of me. Besides, we all meet our maker at some stage no matter what we do. But the only difference is if you're drunk you'll arrive much happier.
I knew this guy personally and he was well up for fun and social interactions. He had the courage of his convictions and a firm belief on treating the patients in his care in a holistic way. There is no point treating symptoms if a person does not cut down on practices which are causing the symptoms in the first place. This applies to all forms of bodily abuse such as overeating, drug use, smoking and alcohol abuse as well. Sometimes the news regarding lifestyle choices and practices can be hard to hear but avoiding them and decrying those whose job it is to call them out is not wise. Dr John, as all people in Oranmore knew him, was County Coroner for Galway in the 1960's and 1970's and part of a Coroners job is to investigate deaths and call out recommendations to prevent similar deaths in the future.
Cigarettes and alcohol, the 2 most addictive substances that kill more per annum globally than any other drug, but its okay because the man in the suit says its not illegal
Thats bullshit. The younger generation are not as inclined to drink or smoke as much as we did. Technology has played a part but also education amd basic "cop on" has prevailed.
You can also include the Russians, Baltics and Nordic countries in that assertion. The shining light is that Ireland also has the highest number of total abstainers in its general population. Also gone is the social pressure on people to drink in social settings and the odious round system common in Ireland in the 1970's and 80's. Now people can opt out of such arrangements and not face social exclusion and ridicule for doing so. Since the recent wave of immigrants into Ireland from other countries I have noticed that those from Northern and Eastern Europe tend to drink as much if not more than the Irish and those from sunnier climes, such as Italy Spain etc are more modest and private in their drinking habits. Ireland is not alone in its bad relationship with drink, Ireland is more public and tolerant of dysfunctional drink related anti-social behaviour. This is the key difference. Other countries would lock you up for behaviour, loud shouting, public urination and vomiting on the street in public, which are passed off with grim amusement in Ireland. My family used to run a B and B in the West of Ireland. Many North American visitors would readily consume the best part of a bottle of whiskey nightly on their visits to Ireland. Most would not even show signs of intoxication. The difference being these consumers would do their drinking all day in small amounts IN PRIVATE. The Irish do their drinking in public and in a nightime sprint.
In hindsight this rte program is both moralistic and negative stereotyping of how "we" Irish perceived ourselves in 1971. I wonder then how was the program perceived when it was aired in 1971.
where they are its the same - if you go different there's other things with all sorts of examples you cannot believe and interesting exceptions of course - indeed you never quite no whether it is - or it isn't - to be sure !!
The current revelation of clerical violence and sex abuse directed at children and vulnerable adults has been identified as a root cause of dysfunctional drinking in the victims later lives in many cases. There are also physical genetic predispositions which cause some people to abuse alcohol while sparing other people. Economic conditions, climate and political structures also have a big aprt to play in forming a scenario which leads to alcohol abuse and early deaths from it.
don't be talking rubbish I actually function better with a few drinks we are not all alcoholics it is called entertaining each other as part of our culture why don't you go after all those individuals that are injected themselves with heroin and all the dangerous drugs of the world. anything in moderation is good for you. including gossip.
Jeffrey Bernard, the famous journalist and drunk would wake up regularly with shit in his bed. 90 minutes 'life and soul of the party' then the struggle with drunkeness.
It is only more visible in 2022. I lived through the 1960's and 1970's and drink and tobacco use was an almost universally epidemic in those days. The difference is that the heavy users in the 1960's could barely read and write and suffered invisibly to the public eye. No social media.A lot of secret drinking went on, often among "respectable" people such as clergy and teachers. I knew of several cases of company managers suffering fatal heart attacks at their places of work and the people cleaning up their offices found several whiskey bottles in the desks of these managers. Journalism was awash with lunchtime boozing sessions and inflamed livers in those days. When I left school in the 1970's many people took up drinking for the first time, as a right of passage. I remember going into a pub for the first time with some of my recently graduated schoolmates. A man at the other end of the counter was being served a whiskey. One of my schoolmates remarked that the smell of the whiskey reminded him of one of the teachers in the school.Then the realisation hit us, even in school some of the teachers were secretly embibing in the school possibly during morning or lunchbreaks.
That was tried in the US from 1919 to 1933 and it did not work. Look up Prohibition and the Gangster wars of America in the 1920's to see why. A similar oversimplification of human behaviour is now in play in the Reagan inspired "war on drugs" which has been failing since 1980. New thinking is needed where drug use and marketing and distribution is legalised and heavily regulated regarding making and purity and heavily supervised in its use and sale to underage people. Tobacco companies fought long and hard against stopping sales of tobacco to under 18's because they knew they had to hook underage people on tobacco, possibly at 13 or 14 yrs old, in order to have a "ready market" when they became adults. Outright prohibition and criminalising use does not work.
@@jgdooley2003 I agree, Portugal legalised so called illegal drugs 14 years ago, it has been deemed a success but other countries won't look at this, I wonder why! An Irish man has been described as an eloborate device for transforming alcohol into urine, seriously Ireland is a different country than the one I was born into in the 1969s when it was classified as the second poorest in Western Europe, only Portugal was poorer, in reality we're still poor as Ireland used to have the highest rate of house ownership in the world but the bankers with their fraudlent system changed.

Umbelino, 22, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, Ferreira Filho, 24, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Da Rocha, also 24, of Mount Armstrong, Rahan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, Ethan Nikolaou, 23, of Brosna Park, Kilbeggan, and Conor Byrne, 24, of Ballybeg, Moate, Co Westmeath, were convicted of a range of sexual assaults on a teenage girl Umbelino, 22, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, Ferreira Filho, 24, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Da Rocha, also 24, of Mount Armstrong, Rahan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, Ethan Nikolaou, 23, of Brosna Park, Kilbeggan, and Conor Byrne, 24, of Ballybeg, Moate, Co Westmeath, were convicted of a range of sexual assaults on a teenage girl Earlier this week, the Irish Mirror unmasked Marcos Vinicius De Silva Umbelino, Eduardo Dias Ferreira Filho, Gabriel Gomes Da Rocha, Conor Byrne and Ethan Nikolaou. They had desperately tried to hide their faces throughout the trial. They are now beginning lengthy sentences behind bars in a case the judge described as "horrifying". Justice Burns told the Central Criminal Court the nature of the rapes, one after the other and in front of others who had or would rape the victim, was "degradation of the most extreme level". She said even without the use of violence, "the act of a gang rape is offending behaviour of the most serious kind". And she added that in this case, "the gang rape was accompanied by filming" where a "gang of men" stood around outside a car in which a young woman was being violated. The teenager had been out celebrating St Stephen's Day but became separated from her friends in the early hours. Her phone was not working so, after waiting 20 minutes for a taxi, she decided to walk to a pal's house nearby where she knew she could stay. As she walked, a Volkswagen Passat - which had circled the town 15 times - pulled up with Umbelino driving. Da Rocha was in the passenger seat while Filho, Byrne and Nikolaou were in the back. Nikolaou, who knew of her from social media but not personally, had shouted out her name. The teenager got into the car, thinking it was her friends, and lay down across the men in the back seat. Soon after, the judge said, her "nightmare began" as she was sexually assaulted by Filho and Nikolaou. She then got into the front with Da Rocha. At this stage she was visibly upset but he also molested her as did driver Umbelino. At one point the victim heard one of the men say: "Ah lads she's good, we are all getting it tonight." The car was parked up at a remote location near Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, and all of the men got out. Da Rocha got back in naked and raped her. Umbelino then raped her Byrne followed, also raping her before asking if she was on the pill. Nikolaou got into the car next while naked and sexually assaulted her. The woman previously told the court that at the time she felt "paralysed", adding: "Like my body and mind went into autopilot and I froze up. I was going nowhere. I was in a car." As Nikolaou committed his second sex assault, Umbelino recorded it. Yesterday, Justice Burns said the offending was aggravated by the films being taken as the girl was "being violated against her will in front of the men who had raped and would rape her - this depravity is absolutely shocking". She added: "I reject out of hand the contention that it falls within the mid-range of offending. It does not." Byrne and Nikolaou were subsequently dropped off in Kilbeggan before the car was driven to Whitehall car park in Tullamore. The victim asked to leave the vehicle but Da Rocha and Filho stopped her. Both were convicted of falsely imprisoning her at this point. Da Rocha then raped her again at the same time as she was orally raped by Filho . The girl was finally released from the car and given assistance by male friends who helped her and brought her to the Garda station. Justice Burns said: "For all of the awfulness of this case, these men's assistance shines out as a beacon. These young men knew a terrible deed had been committed." The probe was led by Detective Sergeant David Scahill and Detective Sergeant Caroline Lyng along with a large investigation team based at Tullamore Garda Station. Justice Burns handed down Umbelino, the only one not to show any remorse following conviction, a sentence of 14 years for rape. The 22-year-old, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, also got two four-year sentences for sexual assault. Filho, 24, was jailed for 17 years for oral rape. The dad-of-one, also of Riverview, Kilbeggan, was given four-anda-half years for sexual assault and eight years for false imprisonment. Da Rocha, of Mount Armstrong, Rahan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, was handed down a 19-year sentence for his first rape on the girl and 15 years for the second rape. The 24-year-old also got four-anda-half years for sexual assault and eight years for false imprisonment Byrne, the fourth man to rape the teen, was given a 10-year sentence. The 24-year-old, of Ballybeg, Moate, Co Westmeath, was the only defendant to enter a guilty plea. Nikolaou, 23, was handed down a sentence of six years and four years for two sexual assaults. All sentences are to run concurrently. Justice Burns said the woman had been out in a small country town she thought was safe, which she was entitled to believe. She added: "Even if it wasn't her friends coming back for her, she could reasonably assume that boys her own age from the same area would get her home. She was entitled to assume that society works in some civilised fashion where there is respect for a female.

Alcoholism is caused by thinking. Make no mistake its nothing else but the person's thinking that causes them to need to drink to deal with life.
The current revelation of clerical violence and sex abuse directed at children and vulnerable adults has been identified as a root cause of dysfunctional drinking in the victims later lives in many cases. There are also physical genetic predispositions which cause some people to abuse alcohol while sparing other people. Economic conditions, climate and political structures also have a big aprt to play in forming a scenario which leads to alcohol abuse and early deaths from it.
I saw it carved once: " I rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy "😮😐😃😄
He looks like a Mormon missionary recruiter..
has anyone ever died from falling out of a bed even since this video was done? i doubt it
Come to think of it, I could use a drink.
Have a wee orange juice, laddie
I think most Irish folk are good drinkers although there are one or two that aren't so good...
It’s that bloody nun out there again!
They probably both fell about laughing after the interview.
Yes and then got drunk at the local pub
Lord Guinness and Lord Glenfiddick wont allow the working man anything without a tax for them on it.
Never cook drunk.
To quote the eminent theologian Father J. Hackett, S. J., “ARSEBISCUITS!”
don't be talking rubbish I actually function better with a few drinks we are not all alcoholics it is called entertaining each other as part of our culture why don't you go after all those individuals that are injected themselves with heroin and all the dangerous drugs of the world. anything in moderation is good for you. including gossip.
I use only have the one or two on Friday and Saturday
Jeffrey Bernard, the famous journalist and drunk would wake up regularly with shit in his bed. 90 minutes 'life and soul of the party' then the struggle with drunkeness.
doctor gets pissed after interview
0:40 - You don’t say...
what's scary about this is that its so true then as it is now in 2022 only worse, 🙄
It is only more visible in 2022. I lived through the 1960's and 1970's and drink and tobacco use was an almost universally epidemic in those days. The difference is that the heavy users in the 1960's could barely read and write and suffered invisibly to the public eye. No social media.A lot of secret drinking went on, often among "respectable" people such as clergy and teachers.
I knew of several cases of company managers suffering fatal heart attacks at their places of work and the people cleaning up their offices found several whiskey bottles in the desks of these managers. Journalism was awash with lunchtime boozing sessions and inflamed livers in those days.
When I left school in the 1970's many people took up drinking for the first time, as a right of passage. I remember going into a pub for the first time with some of my recently graduated schoolmates. A man at the other end of the counter was being served a whiskey. One of my schoolmates remarked that the smell of the whiskey reminded him of one of the teachers in the school.Then the realisation hit us, even in school some of the teachers were secretly embibing in the school possibly during morning or lunchbreaks.
As much fun as Tuberity...

Sex is alright but you can't beat the real Thing. Ahh Guinness 🤪
Don't drive after your 6th pint
Well that was extremely uninformative, thanks doc!
Alcohol can't be as serious as drugs otherwise they would have made it illegal lol😀
That was tried in the US from 1919 to 1933 and it did not work. Look up Prohibition and the Gangster wars of America in the 1920's to see why.
A similar oversimplification of human behaviour is now in play in the Reagan inspired "war on drugs" which has been failing since 1980.
New thinking is needed where drug use and marketing and distribution is legalised and heavily regulated regarding making and purity and heavily supervised in its use and sale to underage people.
Tobacco companies fought long and hard against stopping sales of tobacco to under 18's because they knew they had to hook underage people on tobacco, possibly at 13 or 14 yrs old, in order to have a "ready market" when they became adults.
Outright prohibition and criminalising use does not work.
@@jgdooley2003 I agree, Portugal legalised so called illegal drugs 14 years ago, it has been deemed a success but other countries won't look at this, I wonder why! An Irish man has been described as an eloborate device for transforming alcohol into urine, seriously Ireland is a different country than the one I was born into in the 1969s when it was classified as the second poorest in Western Europe, only Portugal was poorer, in reality we're still poor as Ireland used to have the highest rate of house ownership in the world but the bankers with their fraudlent system changed. By the way banks don't loan money at all, they take the fiat currency out of your Cestui Que Vie trust and tell you they loaned the money to you, don't believe me? Read the terms of the Bills of Exchange 1882.
Can’t afford it now anyway, thanks to Leo the Knob ..

Umbelino, 22, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, Ferreira Filho, 24, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Da Rocha, also 24, of Mount Armstrong, Rahan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, Ethan Nikolaou, 23, of Brosna Park, Kilbeggan, and Conor Byrne, 24, of Ballybeg, Moate, Co Westmeath, were convicted of a range of sexual assaults on a teenage girl
Earlier this week, the Irish Mirror unmasked Marcos Vinicius De Silva Umbelino, Eduardo Dias Ferreira Filho, Gabriel Gomes Da Rocha, Conor Byrne and Ethan Nikolaou.
They had desperately tried to hide their faces throughout the trial.
They are now beginning lengthy sentences behind bars in a case the judge described as "horrifying".
Justice Burns told the Central Criminal Court the nature of the rapes, one after the other and in front of others who had or would rape the victim, was "degradation of the most extreme level".
She said even without the use of violence, "the act of a gang rape is offending behaviour of the most serious kind".
And she added that in this case, "the gang rape was accompanied by filming" where a "gang of men" stood around outside a car in which a young woman was being violated.
The teenager had been out celebrating St Stephen's Day but became separated from her friends in the early hours.
Her phone was not working so, after waiting 20 minutes for a taxi, she decided to walk to a pal's house nearby where she knew she could stay.
As she walked, a Volkswagen Passat - which had circled the town 15 times - pulled up with Umbelino driving. Da Rocha was in the passenger seat while Filho, Byrne and Nikolaou were in the back.
Nikolaou, who knew of her from social media but not personally, had shouted out her name. The teenager got into the car, thinking it was her friends, and lay down across the men in the back seat.
Soon after, the judge said, her "nightmare began" as she was sexually assaulted by Filho and Nikolaou.
She then got into the front with Da Rocha. At this stage she was visibly upset but he also molested her as did driver Umbelino.
At one point the victim heard one of the men say: "Ah lads she's good, we are all getting it tonight."
The car was parked up at a remote location near Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, and all of the men got out.
Da Rocha got back in naked and raped her. Umbelino then raped her
Byrne followed, also raping her before asking if she was on the pill. Nikolaou got into the car next while naked and sexually assaulted her.
The woman previously told the court that at the time she felt "paralysed", adding: "Like my body and mind went into autopilot and I froze up. I was going nowhere. I was in a car."
As Nikolaou committed his second sex assault, Umbelino recorded it.
Yesterday, Justice Burns said the offending was aggravated by the films being taken as the girl was "being violated against her will in front of the men who had raped and would rape her - this depravity is absolutely shocking". She added: "I reject out of hand the contention that it falls within the mid-range of offending. It does not."
Byrne and Nikolaou were subsequently dropped off in Kilbeggan before the car was driven to Whitehall car park in Tullamore.
The victim asked to leave the vehicle but Da Rocha and Filho stopped her. Both were convicted of falsely imprisoning her at this point.
Da Rocha then raped her again at the same time as she was orally raped by Filho .
The girl was finally released from the car and given assistance by male friends who helped her and brought her to the Garda station.
Justice Burns said: "For all of the awfulness of this case, these men's assistance shines out as a beacon. These young men knew a terrible deed had been committed."
The probe was led by Detective Sergeant David Scahill and Detective Sergeant Caroline Lyng along with a large investigation team based at Tullamore Garda Station.
Justice Burns handed down Umbelino, the only one not to show any remorse following conviction, a sentence of 14 years for rape. The 22-year-old, of Riverview, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath, also got two four-year sentences for sexual assault.
Filho, 24, was jailed for 17 years for oral rape. The dad-of-one, also of Riverview, Kilbeggan, was given four-anda-half years for sexual assault and eight years for false imprisonment.
Da Rocha, of Mount Armstrong, Rahan, Tullamore, Co Offaly, was handed down a 19-year sentence for his first rape on the girl and 15 years for the second rape.
The 24-year-old also got four-anda-half years for sexual assault and eight years for false imprisonment Byrne, the fourth man to rape the teen, was given a 10-year sentence.
The 24-year-old, of Ballybeg, Moate, Co Westmeath, was the only defendant to enter a guilty plea.
Nikolaou, 23, was handed down a sentence of six years and four years for two sexual assaults. All sentences are to run concurrently.
Justice Burns said the woman had been out in a small country town she thought was safe, which she was entitled to believe.
She added: "Even if it wasn't her friends coming back for her, she could reasonably assume that boys her own age from the same area would get her home. She was entitled to assume that society works in some civilised fashion where there is respect for a female.
