The last pub I went, when I was in Ireland for the holidays, I spent 10h there, being offered rounds and paying some on my account as well. When I got there, I had no friends in Ireland. After being there, I left with a bunch of new friends who have invited me to go and visit them, even saying they would arrange accommodations for me. That's why, I might be Swiss and Portuguese because of my parents but my heart is 100% Irish. It's where I feel the most at home. Trying to find a way to move there for good.

The problem is wether it's ok to be paternalistic and force grown people to do what you want them to do ''for their own good'', doesn't seem like that's a good road to go down. There are significant problems related to alcohol in society, but I don't think government paternalism is the solution.
