There is something that all my Italian friends ask me everytime: how much the Irish people drink?

Well…let’s say “a lot”. But what happens in Ballylooby is really, really beyond your expectation .

Once upon a time in Ballylooby (and maybe everywhere in Ireland) there was the Mass in the Christmas night. At midnight, all the people in town were used to go to the Church for the mass… the number reduced…reduced…and now there is a mass in the morning, at 7.30 AM.

But…where are the people? It seems that was used, after the mass, to go together to the pub!! So, the people, decided, step by step, to go for “one pint” to the pub BEFORE the mass…after a couple of years, nobody was at the mass but everybody were at the pub: even the priest decided to join them!!!

“A pint of Guinness, please”
