The Irish Are Known For Being Drunk And Eating Potatoes, How The Fuck Did They Not Invent Vodka?

[Bixby Snyder]

I mean it’s literally combining the two things they are known for — that and being poor. Which should have just been a catalyst for it all

 

[Grub]

They did, back in the 6th century, it's called poitin.

Vodka is ran through filters, and the Irish are too lazy to filter their potato juice before they drink it unlike hard-working Slavs.

They were so hungry due to the machinations of the Eternal Anglo, that no potato in the Emerald Isle went uneaten for long enough to ferment into alcohol.

 

[SofondaCox]

They're too fucking stupid.

 

[MadStan]

We talking about the same people who never came up with pants?

 

[MediocreMilt]

Vodka is ran through filters

So is whiskey, which they're famous for.

 

[The Nothingness]

Because they don't know what to do with potatoes.

They were too busy inbreeding and killing each other for worshipping the same god but in different ways.

Slavs are shite wiring.

You’re talking about the same people who starved to death on an island surrounded by fish.

There was plenty of food as well as that, tons of crops. The problem was that 80% of the population was so poor that the only thing they could afford to eat was potatoes and the British government refused to interfere with the free market. Calling it a famine has always been a misnomer.

Sorry, that was a bit serious for a thread like this. Bejakers, begorrah, a leprechaun just took a piss in me pint of guinness, etc.

 

[Solid Snek]

Do you really not know the answer...?

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Yeah, I’ve wondered this too.
They did, and it’s called poteen.

That's normal for famines. Famines are almost always caused by distributional issues (either not bringing surplus in from elsewhere, or not giving people access to the surplus you have), not an actual lack of calories.

Begorrah! Ye be askin how the proud and great nation of Patrick never made vodka! Amadan! You should be askin how we starved on an island surrounded by fish!
