First thing he sees is a pretty redhead with shots of Irish whisky on a tray, offering free samples!! Gotta love the Irish!
Bit of trivia for you: Irish whisky is spelled "Whiskey" because of the distinct taste difference between it and any other kind - the extra "E" is for "Eire".

All other whisky's should be spelled without the "E"

Have to agree with you there - fortunately I now live just outside of LA, so refrigerated Guinness is the same temperature as room temperature Guinness in Ireland
