Slainte O Dhia Duit

Sexy Irish Lass Dressed Up For St. Patricks Day

In Ireland, there was an old drinking tradition at the local pubs. When several men entered the pub to drink, it was often the custom for them to go into a snug. (The back room) They never stood at the bar counter. Each of the men would strike three hearty blows on the counter to summon the barmaid. When the barmaid entered the room, she would be ordered to bring the men a pink of whiskey. She would return with a jug and only one glass.

The man who ordered and paid for the whiskey would stand up, pour a drink, hand the glass to the man nearest to him, and then say, "Here's health!" and to which the first man might reply back, "God grant you health!" In Gaelic, that toast is written, (Slainte O Dhia Duit) The men would repeat this process until all the men had a round or two or three.
