A drink must come before the news

Do not be talkative in the drinking house

- An té ná hólann ach uisce ní
bhíonn sé ar meisce
The person who only drinks water is not ever drunk
- Deoch roimh tarta, deoch i ndiaidh
tarta, agus deoch in aghaidh tarta

[Any excuse for a drink]

ag ól
Choose your company before you go drinking

Wine releases the truth [What's in {the mind} sober comes out {when} drunk. In
Vino Veritas
