By the way, in most of the Irish restaurants in which I ate you had a choice among three vegetables, baked potatoes, fried potatoes and boiled potatoes.

There is a sect of monks that brew beer and once a year for several weeks they live on beer alone. It is not Guiness, but it is something very similar. In fact, as I understand it, it is thicker and darker than Guiness. If I recall correctly, they drinks four or five pints a day and stay very healthy during that time.
