Is it true that the Irish drink a lot, or is this an urban myth?

It is true that the Irish have a reputation for being a very heavy drinking culture, but this is not necessarily an urban myth. Studies have shown that the Irish do drink more than the average person worldwide, with the average person in Ireland consuming nearly twice as much alcohol as the average person in other countries. In fact, Ireland has some of the highest alcohol consumption rates in the world, with close to 12 liters of pure alcohol consumed per person every year.
