Irish Drinking Toasts
Dontcha just
love the Irish Drinking Toasts? I do, so here are my favs, especially
when you call them drinking limericks. Hee.
------
Here's to the land of the shamrock so green,
Here's to each lad and his darlin’ colleen,
Here's to the ones we love dearest and most.
May God bless old Ireland, that's this Irishman's toast!
------
In heaven there is no beer...
That's why we drink ours here.
------
May your glass be ever full,
May the roof over your head be always strong,
And may you be in heaven
Half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
------
Here's to me, and here's to you,
And here's to love and laughter –
I'll be true as long as you,
And not one moment after.
------
For every wound, a balm.
For every sorrow, cheer.
For every storm, a calm.
For every thirst, a beer.
------
Here's to our hostess considerate and sweet;
Her wit is endless, but when do we eat?
------
When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!
------
Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer-and another one!
------
Here's to the wine we love to drink, and the food we like to eat.
Here's to our wives and sweethearts, let's pray they never meet.
Here's champagne for our real friends and real pain for our sham
friends.
And when this life is over, may all of us find peace.
------
In all this world, why I do think
There are five reasons why we drink:
Good friends,
good wine,
lest we be dry
and any other reason why.
------
Here's to being single...
Drinking doubles...
And seeing triple!
------
My friends are the best friends
Loyal, willing and able.
Now let’s get to drinking!
All glasses off the table!
------
I drink to your health when I'm with you,
I drink to your health when I'm alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I'm starting to worry about my own!
------
Here's to women's kisses,
and to whiskey, amber clear;
Not as sweet as a woman's kiss,
but a darn sight more sincere!
------
I have known many,
and liked not a few,
but loved only one
and this toast is to you.
------
To live above with the Saints we love,
Ah, that is the purest glory.
To live below with the Saints we know,
Ah, that is another story!
------
Irish Saint Patrick's Day Toast
Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.
'Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!'
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
