One of my favourite alcohol related stories is an article from a Victorian era newspaper about my home town, where basically everyone had been freaking out for weeks about how the field (which now would be the playing field of my old primary school) was super haunted, and there would be groaning and moaning in the mist. Eventually everyone decided to band together and prove/disprove the ghost, and it turned out that the ghost was the local drunk who would cut through the field, fall, groan, pass out, wake up, repeat, for weeks. People were terrified of the field and it was just a lost drunk guy off his tits the entire time

[@saltynocoiners7869]

This was played to me yesterday and I have to ask as to why the 13 died from alcohol poisoning, yet the dog died of alcohol withdrawal? They all died after the fact, not from consumption? Didn’t they? So, unless they were feeding them alcohol in hospital, all of the 24 would have been being treated for alcohol withdrawal, would they not? The words we use are not always correct. Addiction needs reworded when so many ‘addicts’ are only trying to deal with the withdrawal from their drug of (not always their) choice - prescribed or otherwise -. Food for thought hopefully. Akathisia is very, very real. Very amusing story and as always, very well told. I’ve already recited it twice to others here in the hell hole that is rural Ireland in the last 24hours. Well done.

[@Phantom_Boi]

ive noticed that, in every case of irish people dying in disasters, its never the actual disaster but, instead, alcohol posioning.

[@shaycase1834]

No one tells a story like you do… just amazing!

[@Icenri]

I spent 1 year in an Irish school in Drogheda and I can relate with the accent stuff. When going back to Dublin years later they didn't understand my accent either.

[@TrollingEnthusiast]

More please! I never would have heard of this if not for your vids, this is great!

Holy shit that dog part is the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life. He was going through it man .. poor pooch. He just wanted a fifth of some whiskey and some belly rubs.

You just picked this because it killed Dubliners. Your man here is tricky folks

The FO4 reference. So real. I work very heavily with voiceover studios around the globe and I can 100% say that Bethesda didn't want to shell out for a full flooded voice talent who was based in country. Way cheaper to find someone in the states.

Her being Irish doesnt even make sense given the setting. Did she walk all the way from Ireland to the states?

[@matthewdaub]

Qxir has been talking about making a video on the Oklahoma bombing, wonder when that’s gonna happen.

[@rook5503]

Not to mention the two hidden videos that qxir has covered up

[@tearfulsmiles9901]

It's because YouPube hates and tries to censor anything historical or factual these days.

[@coreytrevor1920]

Which videos

[@Anas-ux9vi]

@@tearfulsmiles9901 I'm not so sure-- he has covered things far worse than this.

[@nightfall1826]

i think "The Battle of Athens, Tennessee" would be a good Tales From The Bottle episode.

1:35 I loved how you said, “people have died…” while the character is happily doing a thumbs up. And by the bye, I can relate to you, as I have a very weird accent too!

[@legoworldstudios1323]

Your knowledge of Ireland is a bit off because The city of Belfast is in the country of Northern Ireland. You see Ireland split in two in the late 1900s the country of Northern Ireland is actually owned by the British/ English. Qixr is from Dublin the capital of Ireland but Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland.
