How Much does the Man Drink?

[A Pair of Green Eyes]

Ok this topic is no way a dig at Shane and his habits

Just interested

Does the media play up how much he drinks?

Was just wondering is Shane drinking full bottles of Gin daily and is he pissed 24/7 or does he just enjoy going out and getting pissed still and over the years the excess has taken its toll.

He looked pretty fucked on the dvd I saw recently and that was put out about 7 years ago.

See I've done benders but after a couple of days just fucked how does he do it and does he do it in an extreme manner still?

Cheers

With all due respect, how the fuck are we meant to know? Most of us have never met Shane and those that have don't spend every single minute of the day watching every single drop of alcohol pass his lips.

Well I thought some of the band members and people who know him posted on here and if you'd met him you'd probably have some idea.

I was just wondering is he EVER sober, is it all racist media hype?

Also Maguire I don't really understand what your post meant

I think the point Simon is making is the man does what the man does and it his is own business and not ours. The Media will say what they want regardless, it sells papers.

A little to much of a personal topic. Yes, the media has for many years blown up Shane's drinking to mythical proportions, if he is photographed with a drink in his hand than automatically people think that Shane is fucked up. But I say let him enjoy his life, it's his liver not ours.

I don't really want to add to much to the stupid topic.

Other than to say that almost all Pogues songs are extremely hard to sing if you are truly drunk.

[A Pair of Green Eyes]

Haha Sportin Life are you listening to the same band I think you HAVE to be drunk to sing pogues songs.

Also anyone who has seen the pogues live will tell you Shane is usually smashed!!

Define, ‘Smashed’ as you put it. Smashed for one person could mean something else to another. I’ve seen Shane four times in my life. Once with The Popes and three times with The Pogues, I’ve never seen Shane overly drunk and unable to perform

Ah.. some things never change. Is there even any point in replying to these dicks?

Why am I a dick for asking a simple question which none of you can answer so go into Knee - Jerk Reaction mode.

There in lies the problem "your simple question" its a bit like asking how long is a piece of string?

Also, what is the point of asking a question that noone can answer?

True, it is a bit of a dead end really.
