APAD: “Eat when hungry, drink when dry”

"Eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry" is a line from an old Irish folk song.  The full line is: "I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, and if the moonshine don't kill me I'll live 'till I die"

I think this song shows how much Irish people love their drinks, oh no, not water, but alcohol. 

Newfoundland (and Labrador == NL, Canada) has one of the largest Irish diasporas per capita in the world. Some parts of NL have a majority population that is genetically Irish, going back almost 200 years.  If you ever had a chance visiting St. John's, capital of NL, you would be amazed at the number of pubs there.

Hubby's mother was a 2nd generation Irish Canadian. The first time when he spoke the saying to me, we were in Hardy the car driving somewhere and I felt thirsty but couldn't find the water bottle. In haste, I replied back: "drink when you drive?" and unintentionally created a joke due to my hearing. :-)

So the purpose of today's APAD is: don't drink and drive, and it doesn't matter how lovely the drinks are.

Oh, if you haven't yet, please do go and visit Newfoundland, especially Gros Morne National Park, for its textbook example of plate tectonics and stunning beauty.

Have good Wednesday.

The Song:

 

 

For the sake of health, I'd add 'only' after 'Eat.'

hahaha, U got it. I thought it's water first ;-))

Sleep when exhausted. Relax when tired. :))

Wise words & just what I need ;-)) Thx 暖冬！

Good4U! “Intuition is the compass of the soul.” – Anonymous

Alright, the one with whiskey, & a good amount of it ;-))

大口喝酒，大口吃肉，快意人生～～

Haha. Drink when driving. Drink before even feel dry

Hahaha, Yes ma'am! Your wish is my command;-))

犹如梁山好汉！！：-））

谁说女子不如男！哈哈

当然，以豆腐代肉，以水代酒，大块儿拿来，大碗送下。：-））

哈哈哈。也可以牛排加红酒。我最近叶公好龙地买了瓶红酒，再加上过节时老板和朋友们送的。家里囤了好几瓶了。还没开瓶。：D

红酒是个好东东！我家里永远有几瓶。但我只可品尝，不能畅饮（一大口下去就会醉得找不到北了哈 ；-）。

Same here. 哈哈，所以说叶公好龙，乔安娜好酒。

The problem is it takes time&effort to get exhausted for a

good night's sleep.

do U have preference? 红酒我喜欢CabernetSauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz

白酒“喝”的不多，喜欢Riesling，还喜欢任何Rose

When angry, count 100; if insomniac, count 100000 ;-))

When angry, count 100; when sleepless, count 100000 ;-))
