When was the last time you did drugs or had a packet of tayto with a pint

I presume they’re all earning more too.

I suppose parents do help out with fees and the like, free up more of their own money for drugs.

I’d imagine sending your kids to university is a huge financial burden for parents these days, it probably costs around €10k a year per child to put them through it.

rents/books/fees

They don’t buy books any more

bags of powder being found in pubs the next day.

You can be assured it wasn’t the local Gárdai finding it anyway but I take your general point, some lads have gone buck-ape altogether. Mohill would be accustomed to it’s share of dodgy buckos forever.

I’m finished college a few years. I think my last year cost approximately 6 grand between fees, rent, bills, etc.

Not counting food or drink or other assorted expenses. I didn’t buy any books.

I believe that rent around UL has increased by about 50% on what I was paying then. And I can only imagine what is being charged in Dublin.

Jesus christ —grow the fuck up.

We were all young once and many dabbled and had great fun etc. etc … but doing this regularly in your 30s/40s is just pathetic, it really is. There’s an immaturity in us (irish) that in many ways is great - we dont take ourselves seriously, a decent sense of humour and we are well up for a bit of craic … but then it spills over to show the worst of us also. Not being able to have your few drinks and leave it at that - lads chasing craic by dragging the bollix out of 2/3 day sessions. The bollix that goes on when we travel to a major sporting event – oh look at us, we’re Irish and we’re great craic … we’ve all been there — but there’s a serious want or need in us. We dont want to face reality or we get lost totally lost in the joy of a shared experience that we cant handle it ending … and I think that’s a large part of it. We are very social and experience great highs but we also experience great lows … I think a lot of Irish people carry a sadness in them in the same way you’d hear the funniest of comedians are depressed … All our wars are happy and all our songs are sad.

Many lads will dress up regular drug use as a bit of craic - shur everyone is at it – but I think there’s a lot of pain in Irish people… we still arent the most open or confident of people — and I think our gluttony for drink and drugs stems from this. We’re manic depressives.

All these are false idols, once you have God in your life you will be happy and you wont be looking for all these false highs. Iv never done coke never was tempted either . Gods strength runs through me .amen.

Yes what we need is the guards looking for empty bags of coke in pubs

[anon23727452]

My first go at college the starter pack was a 70 cl of vodka and mixer for the bones of 15 quid, Taxis max 10 quid, 2 x yokes 10 quid, maybe 1 drink in the nightclub plus entry fee would be 10 quid and probably 6 more cans for afterwards would wash down the yokes. We’d be out almost always two nights a week. I’d say the lads that would be taking coke in college probably don’t leave their college houses. You’d save very quickly. There’s barely 25 weeks in a college year too. So any lads working during the summer would easily save 4-5k. I guess if you done coke every week of a college semester at 100 euro you’d still only need 3k to pay for it which isn’t much.

Nope computer science. I hated it albeit I never went either.

There was a queue 6 deep in the Jack’s of travellers at the Wolfe Tones in Killarney at the weekend. Openly handing the bags over to each other. Auld lads were giving me looks as I was the only one under 30 only taking a piss

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Back in my day they were free and you at least got to finger her

[anon23727452]

I was watching a soccer game in a pub in town recently that was fairly packed. Now the pub is fairly rough but anyway a big enough lad had awkwardly made his way to the jacks about two times already, crossing the screen and making a few lads move around to get out of his way etc. Anyway just before half time the lad who is clearly off his face makes his move again for the jacks. Just as he’s passing the tv screen a lad shouts up from the back of the pub: “you must have an awful sick tummy” much to amusement of everybody else in The pub.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

I’d a similar experience on Stephen’s day when I went to use the stall for sitting. Lads banging on the door telling me to hurry up. Left them a lovely load for sniffing. Brussels sprouts and sneachta smell lovely together
