God invented whisky so the Irish wouldn't rule the world.
My take from this is, God fears the Irish.
So this bit is historically accurate? It's hard to believe nowadays that Family Guy was once clever...
I'm no historian but I'd imagine it's probably more to do with the Tudor conquest (or reconquest) of Ireland took place during the 16th century
They would have still been drunk in the 15th century.
I think while they invented it in the 14th century, they spent the 15th century perfecting it. 😅
The distillation process was still in its infancy; whisky itself was not allowed to age, and as a result tasted very raw and brutal compared to today's versions.
Oh, I'm sure. I'm also sure there were many other things going on in that century. I just like the idea that they were drunk as fuck for almost four times as long as I've been drunk.
Beautiful ... Irish invent whiskey and get rip roaring drunk for 300 years before they figure out what kind of social activity they can do while being drunk .... "HEY SHAMUS!!!! let's see how far you can roll that ball!!!"
"Faaaaaak Noooo"
