“It’s sad to see what’s happening with the pubs throughout rural Ireland. It’s the way of life gone, you know?” The closure of the Ramble Inn in Halfway, Ballinhassig (a pub with over 300 years of history) is a reminder of just how valuable local pubs are in our local communities, and the support needed to keep going.

So effective that banning happy hours, making off licences close at 10pm, banning multibuy discounts, segregating alcohol from other groceries, banning loyalty points on alcohol and introducing minimum unit pricing hasn't made problem drinking go away. Better do some more, so.

Good to see that the new gov has committed to ‘Continue to tackle harmful alcohol consumption through effective regulations’. The most effective regs are controls on price, marketing and availability. assets.gov.ie/130911/fe93e24…

@DrinksInd_ie Binge drinking is 3 or more standard strength pints in one sitting. I could casually have 3 pints this evening, walk home, no trouble to anybody & go to work tomorrow. Setting the level at what’s considered binge drinking that low is only there to allow for dramatic headlines

"But to have a beer that is available in a pub, in an on-licence, is a new idea here in Ireland…" This fella’s had one too many Changing Times: beer has been available on premise in Irish pubs since the beginning of pubs… rte.ie/news/business/…

@DavidMarra “The Problem” is Irish adults can’t be trusted and have to be treated like children

€1.89 for a bottle of wine in France. Excise duty alone in Ireland is nearly double this amount. Yet the nanny-staters here tell us “cheap alcohol” is “the problem”
wine thinker (robertjoseph on Bluesky)@robertjoseph

Anybody who denies that appellations are commodities, please explain this (image courtesy @GavinQuinney) I love the 'old vines' , and am ready to imagine that the wine will be perfectly drinkable. But this retails for less than the ex cellar price of our IGP and Vin de France

@beerfoodtravel I do think though (possibly controversially) that off the shelf is too warm and from the fridge is too cold. Cellar temperature would be ideal.
