I think Mr Reilly will gain great support for this because the price of drink in Ireland is sinfull!

I commend this. I was in Dublin on St Patrick's Day four years ago, and it was quite nauseating. Vomit in the streets, fights, open air sex between 14 year olds...

So so sad that one is either COLD SOBER or irrationally intoxicated....myself? i luv a few Jameson and cokes,,,,and of course a Guinness or 2,,,,but you dont have to be a bloody ignoramus on st paddy's day to enjoy it...have a few and sing some good songs....and? LOVE WHERE U CAME FROM (speaking as an Irish American personally).

Great idea Mr Reilly. What about including the Pioneer Society in this? They are not anti-alcohol either, just against the abuse of it.
