Quitting alcohol is trendy lately.

Which is totally cool, alcohol is a poison and is absolutely terrible for your body. So I support you entirely.

But I’m Irish…

So I will be continuing on in your absence lol 😂

That said I have some rules for my relationship with alcohol.

1. You should drink rarely. Once or twice a month at most.

2. When you do drink though, get drunk. Otherwise what the fuck is the point.

3. In celebration? Always. In sorrow? Never.

4. Never around my children to excess. No kid wants to see the man they depend on out of control.

5. And lastly and most importantly I never forget the advice my grandfather gave me which is being an alcoholic isn’t about how often you drink, it’s about the consequences that come as a result of your drinking. If you have consequences as a result of your relationship with alcohol… it’s time to stop.
