Not far off....  Whiskey is from the Gaelic "uisge beatha" or "water of life"


"Distilling techniques were brought to Ireland and Scotland sometime between 1100 and 1300 by monks. Since wine was not easily obtained in Ireland and Scotland, barley beer was distilled into liquor which became whisky. The manufacturing of distilled spirits was limited to apothecaries and monasteries until the late 15th century. The first known book on distillation was in 1500, when Hieronymus Brunschwygk's "Liber de arte distillandi" expounded on the virtues of alcohol as medicine and how to make it."

From an Irishman, Timothy Sean....with a bit of Brit in me...

St. Patrick wasn't Irish.  He was an enslaved Briton in the 5th century...his claim to fame was ridding the Erin Ilse of snakes when none existed....

So, green beer is basically the only thing that is important....that, and the occasional naked redhead we all dream about!

And, green on St. Paddy's day is for Catholics, we Protestants should wear orange....
