This is a great game with a bunch of new people and you want an icebreaker to play. Even if they’ve never played regular snap before it’s a pretty easy game to understand. If it does become too difficult then Jacks is a great alternative!

Irish drinking patterns are, he writes, “evidence of a deep hole in the Irish psyche which only alcohol can fill.” Widespread hard and harmful drinking is also a serious social and public health problem among Irish Americans today, not to mention the family trouble, shame and enabling silence that often accompany it.

Enjoy!

Here’s What You Need:

• Alcohol
• A minimum of 4 people
• Space to get physical
• Quick reflexes!

The Rules:

This is very similar to the traditional game “Snap” except instead of trying to get all of the cards you are trying to get rid of all your cards.

All the cards are dealt to all the players and they are kept face down. No one is allowed to look at his or her cards. Going clockwise each player plays his or her top card by placing it face up in the centre. Each player plays one card at a time. As cards are being played you say the card values in numerical order, e.g. Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on… Trust me, it makes sense in a moment!

If two of a kind appear, a Jack appears or what was said was laid on the pile, everybody must “snap” the pile by slapping their hand on top of the pile and keep it there.

The last player to snap the pile must take the pile and said it to the bottom of their own pile and take 2 drinks. They then start the new round and start by saying “Ace”

Keep playing until two people remain. The last two people remaining must take 2 drinks.

May the luck of the Irish be on your side!

THE RULES IN BITE SIZE CHUNKS:

• Deal all cards to players face down.
• Everyone takes their pile keeping them face down and then go around clockwise placing one card at a time in the middle of the table face up.
• As cards are laid, the players must say card values in numerical order, starting with the “Ace”
• You have to “snap”, or slap the pile in the middle of the table, on:
  • All Jacks
  • Two of a Kind (values only)
  • If What Was Said, Was Laid
• Everyone has to snap. The last player to snap takes the pile and turns them face down and places them at the bottom of their own pile. If you snap when you weren’t suppose to, you pick up the pile.
• If you pick up the pile, you take a drink.
• Once you have gotten rid of all your cards you are out, but you have to win one more snap to be out. If you have to snap on your last card, you must win more snap afterwards.
• Continue playing until 2 players remain!

Alcohol in Pubs

To legally consume alcohol in a pub, bar, nightclub, or restaurant, you must be over 18 years of age, and you must be able to prove your age if you’re asked. Under the Intoxicating Liquor Act, anyone over the age of 18 who wants to purchase or consume alcohol in a pub must carry an ‘age document’ to prove that they are above the legal age. This can be a driving license or passport, but many people choose to carry a Garda age card which an accepted proof of age in Ireland.

Young people under the age of 18 are welcome in family-friendly establishments - and may be present at the bar as long as they’re accompanied by an adult - until 9pm. However, they are not permitted to drink (and if you’re caught offering a minor a few sneaky sips of Baileys you can get thrown out - pub owners don’t want to take the risk). If you’re attending an event, like a wedding for example, children can remain at the establishment past the 9pm curfew.

Drinking in Public

Think Ireland’s laws on alcohol are strict? Think again! Unlike Poland, Norway, and most parts of the United States and Canada, there are no open container laws in Ireland, meaning it’s legal to drink in public places - great if you want ‘one for the road’ or fancy drinking away from the hustle and bustle. Again, drinking in public places is legal for the over 18s only. Under 18s are not permitted to consume alcohol outside of a private residence.

There are a few conditions on public drinking, however. If you purchase a closed container at an off license - a bottle of wine, for example - you cannot consume it within 100 metres of the off license. You won’t be sent to prison for doing so, but you can end up with a hefty fine. You must also keep public drinking a bit low key - if you’re acting drunk, you can receive a 500 Euro fine and have your Jameson confiscated!

Alcohol in the Home

Good news for the under 18s - alcohol can legally be drunk by a minor at home with the consent of a parent or guardian. There are many debates regarding when to introduce children to alcohol, but being open and honest about drinking can encourage sensible alcohol use in later life, which is why

Irish law states that children may sample alcohol in moderation under a parent's supervision.

Alcohol and Driving

Ireland’s laws for consuming alcohol before getting behind the wheel are similar to laws across most of Europe. The legal limit is 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. This is roughly equivalent to one pint of beer, or one small glass of wine, but how much alcohol you have in your system will be dependent on your size, weight, and many other factors including how much you’ve had to eat.

Remember that it doesn’t matter how much you’ve had to drink - 1 pint or 10 - if you’re driving dangerously and are showing that you’re under the influence, you can be fined, given points on your license, or you could even receive a driving disqualification or full ban. 1 in every 3 road accident fatalities in Ireland are due to alcohol , so be sensible when it comes to drinking and driving.
