get drunk in an old irish pub and a scotish pub to see which gets me more drunk
worth it but... 2 years ago

the thing about it is that either A. the scottish pub will get you drunker OR B. the scottish pub will get you drunk faster. HOWEVER, the irish pub does win hands down unless you ARE looking to get into a fight and violently so. the irish pub is just as likely to get you into a fight, but after you can sit and drink a beer with the cat you beat the hell out of and vice versa. keep in mind, scots a jerks sober, drunk they are bitter arseholes and the loser of the fight needs to lose consciousness before the fight ever ends.
