The Irish vs. The Germans

[goddess_nemesis]

Okay, this is gonna sound like a dumb question, but if you pit the Irish against the Germans in a drinking contest: who would win?

I started thinking about this after watching that ridiculous movie 'Beerfest'. In that ancient beer drinking contest, at the beginning of the movie, the Germans beat the Irish and won the championship. So it made me wonder: if that were to happen (The Irish vs. The Germans), who would win?

Who do you think would win? The Irish? Or the Germans? 😀

 

[german]

Do you even have to ask haha

 

[Goodieluver]

Id bet on the Russians to whip em all. Heh and remember, the russians can claim all the former satellites nations

WODKA FOR ALL!

 

[cloudgazer2k]

you forgot the Scottish...
i am saddened by that...

 

[Cave In]

Irish hands down! Us scots can drink but the Irish can do it and still look only half drunk after several hours of heavy drinking....I've witnessed this on numerous occaisons in my work, and i have to say its impressive

 

[DannyMc]

I'm Irish , German and Scottish , I'd win hands down every time ...........

 

[Bugman]

From the Aussies i have been around,they are no slouch in that dept. also.

 

[Kalamos]

Hope you won't mind if I took a look at your belongings, while you guys are drinking yourself sick, eh?

😉

 

[slap'n'ticklee]

LOL the Poles are pretty nifty when it comes to drinking neat Vodka haha.

I wanna find out first hand from the German's if they are piss artists as I wanna go to one of their beer fests, what a great time that would be anyone been and lived to tell the tale? 😛

Depends on your criteria;

To win, do you have to drink more before getting drunk or is the winner the side that gets drunkest the fastest?

Let me point out that in Germany, a person who drinks only beer is considered a teetotaler! Germans can hurl beer down their throats like it was air. I've seen them do this.

Get them on hard stuff, it's a whole different story. Irish, Scots, or English would drink Germans under the table on whiskey or brandy.

The Froggies can drink more wine than anyone except the Italians, and the Italians hold it better.

If the question is who can remain functional (or at least as functional as they were to begin with ) after the largest intake of alcohol, regardless of form, it would have to be Cossacks. They can even outdrink the Russkis. Putting alcohol into a Cossack is like putting anti-freeze into your car; it just makes it run better!

The Irish can't drink worth a damn; I can drink most paddies under the table and I'm a supposedly lily-livered Englishman. That said, my mum's father was Scottish, my great granny on my mum's side was Irish and my great grandad was Welsh, plus my dad's side of the family are good old Saxons from Lancashire, so genetically my blood is actually made of piss and booze 🙁

 

[DutchTickler]

I think probably the Irish would win. And then the Dutch would blow them away in the finals 🙂

 

[Headsnap]

If the Dutch team had Fernando Ricksen they would :O

 

[red indian]

Your all wrong..........

..... the Germans would win, because they would cheat.

 

[DutchTickler]

Germans only cheat in soccer.

 

[huskys]

I am half Irish (father) and half Aussie (mother), and from what I,ve seen from my Irish cousins, they would be wheeling the Germans out in wheelbarrows.

 

[chicago]

My father is a prime example that you can spend 42 years straight drunk and still function.

Definitely Irish.

 

[subZer0]

Germans only cheat in soccer.

You mean Football. He he...

Irish I think. But, judging by the World Cup in Germany, (The English managed to drink a lot of pubs dry) if the English were to feature in the competition, I think they might have a good chance (The German breweries had to make more beer to cope! How funny. But, it's damn good beer. Glasses raised to the Germans! )!

Back to the ORIGINAL question, the Irish. However, it depends on what you're drinking. Beer=German win, Whisky (esp. Bushmills) or Guinness=Irish win.

 

[Mastertank1]

Wait just a hot minute!

Did someone say the Dutch were gonna blow the Irish?

Cool! Every Dutch chick I ever met has been HOT!

Now where did I put that 'Kiss me, I'm Irish' sweatshirt after last St. Patty's day?

 

[kered]

Tell an Irishman you can outdrink him, then get ready for the contest of your life. National pride is at stake.

 

[Rorschach Blues]

We win, every time... it's a close call, but frankly, our European cousins just can't deal with you insanity.

 

[paracarl44]

I have drank with all nationalities.

Since I am part German, Irish, Scotch, and Dutch I used to put away my fair share of beer in my heyday.

 

[McNoodle]

I vote for the Irish as long as you don't ask us to be coherent afterwards.

 

[starburstz91]

Well, since I'm both, that'd have to be kind of tricky.

British would so kick they're asses anyday, though. 🙂

But, my vote iiiis on the Germans.

 

[rhiannon]

I'd also say it depends on what is being drank....

Beer is not considered alcohol here, it counts as food! 🙂 (Although most Germans totally dislike Guiness, me being one of them!)

If we are talking about Whiskey or stuff like that, we would lose! 🙂
