Would it? I thought it was the Irish stuff that didn't have an E, but then I'm usually wrong about such things.

Oh well, cat's out of the bag now, may as well tell you all that the reason that the Irish drink so much is to dampen the telekinetic powers that comes with being part of the Ancient race.

No you're right.

As for Ireland being atlantis, quite possible. Ancient Irish history says the first inhabitants came fleeing a flood somewhere, and one group of people from the island were brought to slavery in thrace where the story might have got passed down over the years to platos ears.
