I never believe in stereotypes and that is what that is. I have friends that are Irish that don't drink but are the most fun-loving kindest people that I have ever met. The Irish people I know love to get along with everyone no matter what race, creed, or color.

Well we're not JUST drunks we're lots of other stuff too...
It all depends what u define a 'drunk' as. Me and my friends drink a fair bit but it never interferes with our jobs, families, ability to play sport r 'perform'...
and by the way Jimmy Nesbitt wouldn't like to be thought of as representational Irish! Where he's from (Coleraine) they're very very concerned with their 'Britishness'. He's more Union Jack than Tricolour.

I'm Irish and I don't drink, although Irish people do drink too much. We have an insane amount of drink-related road deaths in this country.
Still, don't make the mistake of thinking that every Irish person is an alcoholic. That's a stereotype.

I'm fine thank you.. not sure I'm typically Irish though! Drinking is a big part of being Irish (unfortunately sometimes) but there is more to us then that... But it is a pretty true stereotype! why don't you just come over here and find out!

My fiance is Irish and he's no drunk! The Irish are some of the most friendly people you will ever meet.

Just like the Scots a great sense of humour they can make a joke of themselves they are not all drunks, everyone thinks the Scots are drunks too all false

James Nesbitt. I think he's a pretty good ambassador for Ireland. The Yellow Pages ads are quite funny and he's pretty good in all the other stuff he's been in. Not always drunk either!

above all else the feature of the Irish that I noticed the most was how friendly they are.
To Greg M: Ireland is not a part of Britain

I think your average Paddy likes a drink but so does the rest of Britain. It's part of the culture and has been for a long time.
Apparently when William the Conquerer invaded England the average bloke drank 8 pints a day as drinking water was not readily available. And we still nearly won!
