Whether you buy him a drink or not though, if he's an alcoholic he will find himself a drink from somewhere. Its sad, but its true; doesn't matter who is buying it, he needs it.

They were waiting for the snooker table to be delivered

I'll have a TEDS then Pol

I think I've got a couple left

I live in the West of Scotland. If I stopped buying a drink for everybody I suspected of being an alcoholic I'd never enter a bar again

The fact yer scottish AND actually buy someone a drink makes you a legend in my eyes

Certainly a rarity Why are the Irish so much more generous at buying drinks than the Scottish when they have so many other thigs in common(i general of course, I'm sure there are a couple of exceptions ) ??

And where did this statistic come from Poll, prey tell?
Is it that the Irish guys you pick up in the bars always stand their round whereas the Scottish guys (you pick up) don't

Most of the Irish guys she meets in bars have to be picked up,cause there on the floor stoshish

You've been drinking in the same bars as me then?
I have noticed the Scots usually seem to know exactly how much they have. and can spend, whereas the Irish just keep dipping in their pockets until they run out of dosh (bit like me really )

very true....they have usually fallen off their stools or something equally daft

One saw a scots fella take a tenner of his wallet,it was shut so tight the ink came off the note

But a good drunk will bounce back up so fast nobody would notice

Very true, and very funny to see too. Blink and you'd miss the whole thing
