A wrinkle to that "lmao the irish didn't invent anything for 300 years after the invention of whiskey" post is this: we don't think of distilled spirits this way now, but they were an early way capital controlled labor, with the equipment and expertise necessary to make potable spirits being mostly the province of at first monasteries, then prosperous landlords.
In an American context the introduction of spirits was absolutely devastating - they represented a cheap-to-produce (hence profitable to sell), shelf-stable alcohol delivery mechanism that cultural norms simply didn't exist to grapple with. Like most nations here had alcoholic beverages of whatever sort, but they were weak, short-lived ones similar to beer, and the resources necessary to produce them meant that they were consumed moderately or, if in excess, usually at special occasions. In the 18th century British empire, distilled spirits were considered a scourge both in an indigenous context and in the context of the British working poor. (See Beer Street and Gin Lane.)
And then you look into the history of whiskey distillation in Ireland... and the first people given legal license to produce and distribute whiskey on an industrial scale were English mercenaries-turned-landlords. Old Bushmills was established by an English soldier of fortune!
In short, even at the time, the idea that cheap spirits would be bad for the general life-quality of the working poor was mainstream in the imperial core, but that malevolence was seen as positive when imposed on imperial subjects - the Irish, native Americans, trade partners in Africa and Asia. This represents an early form of the narco-imperialism that matured by the time of the Opium Wars and is present in the war on drugs pushed globally by America today

We didn't start the fire
Jack and Katie Nelson end up meeting Rose and Samuel Coldwell after getting arrested for the same crime in the same neighborhood
rose and sam belong to @justrainandcoffee
cw: drinking, drunk people, arson, absent dad, arrests
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/88df17a46014be6b7aafb7e8ca88d39a/65ebf5d5139f756a-66/s540x810/622a784e2d329bb2ec3559b12f5c9029bf2aa3ae.jpg)
When Jack and Katie decided to track down his father, whom not even his elder half-brother knew, they didn’t think they’d end up in London.
Eva had come on business and while she did what she came here for, Jack had called Katie, who was visiting Colin’s family here, and went pub crawling for old time’s sake.
He should’ve known it was a bad idea when, despite being busy with vlogging everything they did, his sister managed to find his dad’s address. Katie was white girl wasted by now and Jack had reached that point of fuck it we ball moment of the night.
Jack had gotten a bottle of Bushmills Whiskey for the road somehow remembering that was his dad’s favorite drink when Eamon O’Neil met Rosemary Nelson during graduate school.
When they found the nice house empty and showing signs of a happy upper middle-class family it brought up all those times his mother struggled to raise him and his sister and all those times he could’ve used a fucking dad.
“Fuck him! Fuck that guy, you don’t need him, Jack. You hear me!” Katie pulls him down to her height as she assures him that his father doesn’t deserve to even know him.
And suddenly the ribbon in Katie’s blonde hair is shoved half ways into the bottle they were sharing at the curb and the lighter he kept from that day he met Eva in Vegas is in his hand.
The Instagram video has him tossing a Molotov cocktail prefaced with the words, “Fuck you!”. An iconic moment followed by him angrily ranting at the security camera closest to him about how Eamon O’Neil was a piece of shit who abandoned two pregnant women in Boston during his time at MIT.
In the same neighborhood, Rose and her brother had done the same to the house of Samuel Coldwell.
They are put in the same cell and nature takes its course.
Katie leads the way, always the funny charming one who knows how not to step on people’s toes while Jack has the subtlety of Godzilla trampling Tokyo. But with a few drinks in, a shared hatred of their absent fathers and being in here for the same crime two Irish Catholics and two English Jews become unlikely friends.
“Yeah, Jack can make molotov cocktails because he w---” Jack using his sister’s drunk state and his greater height to successfully put his hand over her mouth to prevent her revealing where his skills came from.
“Huge fan of the Good Place.” He says with a laugh that works good enough for the two women who end up changing the topic while Sam Coldwell silently agrees to keep his secret.
He’d been in a gang until he got too good at it and pissed off the leader causing him to end up in fucking Melbourne, Australia to avoid prison. Luckily there had been no proof and Jack was able to return with a masters in finance and a short but lucrative career as a webcam model.
Now he had graduated from Harvard Business College, gotten the investment firm off the ground to great success and would marry the love of his life if she could just get here to bail them out.
“Do you guys need any help getting bailed out, my girl says she doesn’t mind.” He offers after the phone call goes well enough.
“My brother-in-law is already coming, thanks for the offer.” Sam rejects the offer, and both guide their sisters ---who are tearfully bidding each other farewell and exchanging numbers as jumbled as they come out their mouths--- out of their cells.
Jack finds Eva chatting amicably with what he presumed is Rose’s husband and greets his future wife with a short kiss and threw his arm over her shoulder before asking, “How do you guys know each other?”
“We fucked the same guy.” Evie answered far too casually as she led them out the station and into Colin’s car.

Note
Treasure Chest Opened! You Acquired 5 flasks of Bushmills single malt, irish whiskey neatly arranged inside the chest with a mysterious note~
“For the eventful times ahead,” read the note and Lionel frowned at the words and then at the whiskey. He didn’t know what it meant other than that something may be happening in the near future that’s going to leave him too stressed and overwhelmed.
He shrugged and crumpled the note before tossing it into the waste basket at the side of his desk. He lifted one of the expensive whiskeys and smiled at the age. “At least they sent me the good stuff.”

#OTD in 1608 – Sir Thomas Phillipps was granted a license by James I to the Old Bushmills distillery in Co Antrim, which is thought to date from at least 1276 – the oldest distillery in the world.
Uisce beatha is the name for whiskey in the Irish language. The word “whiskey” itself is simply an anglicised version of this phrase, stemming from a mispronunciation of the word uisce. This may in turn have influenced the Modern Irish word fuisce (“whiskey”). The phrase uisce beatha, literally “water of life”, was the name given by Irish monks of the early Middle Ages to distilled alcohol. It is…

1 shot of whiskey (Irish is best here, I go for Jamesons or Bushmills) 16 oz hot water, 3 honey dabbers of honey, 1 bag of sleepy time honey, one bag sleepytime extra strength with valerian. Drink alongside 5mg melatonin and a 60% dark chocolate truffle. Particularly good for easing the bones and arthritis in winter. Also you can add a bit of heavy cream or whole milk to really add some decadence to this routine.
Chai tea bag + lil but of brown sugar + apple cider packet + 16 oz. mug of hot but not quite boiling water
it will not Fix You but like. maybe. maybe.

Explore the Emerald Isle: A Dream Vacation to Ireland
Ireland, often referred to as the Emerald Isle, is a destination that captivates travelers with its lush green landscapes, charming villages, and rich cultural heritage. From ancient castles perched on cliffs to lively pubs filled with traditional music, Ireland offers an unforgettable experience for every type of traveler. Whether you're drawn to its history, natural beauty, or warm hospitality, a vacation in Ireland is nothing short of magical.
The journey begins in Dublin, the country's vibrant capital. This city seamlessly blends history and modernity, offering attractions like Trinity College, home to the famous Book of Kells, and the historic Dublin Castle. Stroll along Grafton Street to experience the buzz of local shops and street performers or take a moment to enjoy the tranquility of St. Stephen's Green. Dublin's pubs are legendary, and no trip is complete without a visit to the Temple Bar district, where you can sip a pint of Guinness while listening to traditional Irish music.
Beyond Dublin, Ireland's countryside unfolds with breathtaking beauty. The Wild Atlantic Way, one of the world's longest coastal routes, takes you through rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and quaint fishing villages. The Cliffs of Moher, rising dramatically from the Atlantic Ocean, are a must-see, offering panoramic views that will leave you in awe. The Ring of Kerry, another iconic route, meanders through lush green hills, sparkling lakes, and charming towns like Killarney. For those seeking adventure, the Burren National Park offers hiking trails through a unique, rocky landscape dotted with rare flora.
Ireland's rich history is evident in its ancient castles, monasteries, and stone circles. Visit Blarney Castle to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone and gain the gift of eloquence, or explore the Rock of Cashel, a medieval complex steeped in myth and history. The ancient city of Kilkenny boasts a well-preserved castle and cobblestone streets that transport you back in time. Meanwhile, the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, with its interlocking basalt columns, offers a geological wonder steeped in legend.
Food and drink are integral to the Irish experience. Indulge in hearty dishes like Irish stew and soda bread, or sample fresh seafood in coastal towns. Ireland's whiskey distilleries, such as those in Jameson and Bushmills, offer tours and tastings that provide insight into the craftsmanship behind this iconic spirit. Pair this with the warmth of Irish hospitality, and you'll feel right at home wherever you go.
For those planning to explore Ireland by car, it’s important to note the driving requirements for foreign travelers. An International Driving Permit Ireland (IDP) is highly recommended for visitors wishing to rent a car and drive in Ireland. The IDP serves as a translation of your home country’s license and is essential for smooth communication with local authorities or rental agencies. Driving in Ireland is a unique experience, with its narrow, winding roads and breathtaking scenery. Keep in mind that the Irish drive on the left-hand side, and be prepared for occasional encounters with sheep crossing rural roads. With an IDP in hand and a sense of adventure, you'll have the freedom to explore Ireland’s hidden gems at your own pace.
As your Irish adventure comes to a close, the memories of rolling green hills, lively pub sessions, and the warm smiles of locals will stay with you long after you leave. Ireland is more than just a destination; it’s a feeling—a sense of belonging, wonder, and joy that lingers in your heart. With its stunning landscapes, rich culture, and genuine hospitality, Ireland offers a vacation experience like no other. As you pack your bags and bid farewell to this enchanting island, you’ll likely find yourself planning a return trip to discover even more of its magic. Safe travels, and may the luck of the Irish be with you on your journey!

Blended whiskey: Το αγαπημένο της παρέας! Τα blended ουίσκι όπως το Bushmills είναι ιδανικά για να τα απολαμβάνεις σε κάθε στιγμή.
Irish whiskey: Αν προτιμάς κάτι πιο απαλό και ήπιο, το Tullamore είναι η ιδανική επιλογή για σένα.
Single malt whiskey: Αν θέλεις κάτι πιο έντονο και γεμάτο γεύση, το BenRiach και άλλα είδη single malt θα σε καταπλήξουν με την πολυπλοκότητά τους.

Από σφηνάκια με φίλους μέχρι κοκτέιλ με στυλ, η βότκα μπορεί να τα κάνει όλα! Αν είσαι λάτρης της καθαρής γεύσης, μπορείς να την απολαύσεις σκέτη ή να τη συνδυάσεις με οποιοδήποτε κοκτέιλ σου αρέσει.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b1da5cd258aed82f11381779a7e0bea8/73ce7641f2e6d452-d9/s540x810/bcbe8a9b5aeaf9420543122b64c282bbb42ca516.jpg)
Σκέτη ή σε κοκτέιλ;
Η βότκα είναι εξαιρετική σκέτη ή σε κοκτέιλ όπως το Moscow Mule, το Bloody Mary και το διάσημο Vodka Martini. Αν θες κάτι πιο φρέσκο, δοκίμασε μια βότκα με φρούτα ή αρωματικά βότανα!
Μερικές top επιλογές βότκας για να δοκιμάσεις:
Absolut
Beluga
Cîroc
Crystal Head
Τεκίλα: Ένα ποτό με έντονη προσωπικότητα

Πώς να απολαύσεις την τεκίλα πέρα από τα σφηνάκια;
Αν θέλεις να ξεφύγεις από τα κλασικά σφηνάκια, απόλαυσε την τεκίλα σε ένα ειδικό ποτήρι snifter, το οποίο βοηθά στην ανάδειξη των αρωμάτων.
Ορισμένες premium επιλογές, όπως η Cabo Maya, η Clase Azul και η Don Julio, είναι ιδανικές για πιο χαλαρή και πιο αργή κατανάλωση, καθώς συνδυάζονται τέλεια με φρούτα, ξηρούς καρπούς ή σοκολάτα.
Gin: Το αρωματικό ποτό που ταιριάζει με όλα

Μερικές διάσημες επιλογές είναι το Beefeater με τον κλασικό χαρακτήρα βοτάνων, το Bombay με λουλουδάτες γεύσεις και το Bulldog, το οποίο έχει πιο πικάντικες πινελιές.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8e4294a0780674d95cbeddd0c0fbd572/73ce7641f2e6d452-13/s500x750/15fa2aa043ff7893f6c5cb1893117bbe6017a466.jpg)
Gin κοκτέιλ που αξίζει να δοκιμάσεις
Το gin & tonic είναι αδιαμφισβήτητα το πιο κλασικό κοκτέιλ, αλλά υπάρχουν κι άλλες επιλογές για να απολαύσεις το gin σου.
Τα αγαπημένα Negroni και Martini είναι εξαιρετικές επιλογές που αναδεικνύουν τη μοναδικότητα του gin, ενώ μπορείς πάντα να πειραματιστείς με παραλλαγές και προσθήκη φρέσκων υλικών.

Belfast, Northern Ireland
In this episode, the FAQ is: Using QR Codes. Are they safe?
Today’s Destination is: Belfast, Northern Ireland
Today’s Misstep: My leaky water bottle was in the overhead bin on the airplane.
Travel Advice: Secondhand stores in Belfast are good deals.
FAQ: Using QR Codes. Are they safe?
Answer: When you open a QR code, pay attention to the context and the brand because it could contain a virus or even worse. Be careful when accessing websites on your desktop, laptop, tablet, watch, or phone. Preview the destination before you go there.
A QR code from a reputable source is more likely to be safe. It is best to proceed cautiously if you find a QR code in an unsolicited email or on a random website. Criminals have placed stickers over legitimate QR codes in public places like bus stops.
Today’s destination: Belfast, Northern Ireland
https://visitbelfast.com/
The best part of Belfast, in Northern Ireland, is outside the city and exploring the countryside if possible. See the Giants Causeway, a national treasure of 40,000 hexagonal basalt stone columns that are 40 feet tall along the coast. These were formed 50-60 million years ago.
For perspective, there are 70 million people in the UK and 2 million people in No Ireland. The UK left the Left EU, but there is still a Land border with Ireland. The overall goal is one nation across the island. It’s been mostly peaceful since the 198 Belfast Peace Agreement on Good Friday.
The forecast usually calls for rain, so bring your gear.
I booked a tour that included many of the Game of Thrones locations, and I have never seen the films, so I was not very impressed. However, I'm told that scenic, narrow roads and unusual serpentine beech trees made this series memorable. It’s an atmospheric tree tunnel and a little bit spooky; on my tour, with Patrick as a guide, we made many stops for castles, caves from 400 million years ago, Bushmills’s Whiskey factory, churches, and pubs.
Castle at Carrick Fergis
https://discovernorthernireland.com/things-to-do/carrickfergus-castle-p674971
I have relatives from Northern Ireland’s Counties Leitrim and Louth, and my grandparents used to vacation along the Antrim coast and Glens National Landscape, a legacy of the Ice Age. I felt a tug of my ancestors here as I walked around a few graveyards in the countryside.
I enjoyed Queen’s University, the Botanic Gardens, the Ulster Museum, and Saturday Food and Craft Markets in the city. The Troubles Museum at Queen’s University was really good. Its full name is the Museum of the Troubles and Peace. It’s worth your visit, and it’s free.
http://museumofthetroubles.org/
You can read about the conflicts between the English and the Irish. I heard about them growing up, as my grandfather was born in Ireland. I can have dual citizenship, which is very common among the locals here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Museum
On my next trip to Belfast, I will visit the following:
Titanic museum
Black Taxi Cab Political Murals Tour
The Crown Pub
https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/northern-ireland/the-crown-bar/visiting-the-crown-bar
Sandy Row: What is it? It’s part of the turbulent history of Belfast.
https://belfastmedia.com/the-turbulent-19th-century-history-of-belfast-s-sandy-ro
Maybe by then, I will have watched Game of Thrones.
https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/northern-ireland/giants-causeway
If you need special accessibility help, you can find wheelchair-accessible tours in the show notes.
https://www.getyourguide.com/belfast-l442/wheelchair-accessible-tc239/
What else is there in Belfast? Fairies
https://www.wildernessireland.com/blog/irish-folklore-fairies/
Today’s Misstep: I had a leaky water bottle in the plane's overhead compartment.
Tighten the seal on the water container. Mine leaked. I was on a plane and put the container in the overhead compartment. It leaked through my water container into another passenger's luggage on the flight. I was embarrassed to say anything but hoped nothing was ruined. Sorry about that.
Today’s Travel Advice- Secondhand shops in Belfast have good deals.

I'm already shadow-boxing
I'm already listening and it's getting loud
so I do know that it's not really time to be proud.
Don't go "dropping chili knowledge into my brain"
Especially since it burns me up! Already been insane!
I haven't read everything everything just about everything though.
I think I can get my face under control fairly quickly 😅 🤔 😬 that's not gonna get me outta jury duty, though 😑 🙃
I seriously seriously soaked this brain a long time in a lot of Bushmills Irish whiskey.
And bacardi silver and Belgian ales. Yucky 🤮
