The Irish on the other hand, will usually pop a brandy and cream in the coffee to let the fun continue into the wee small hours.
Irish coffee has whiskey not brandy
Ireland has always been a nation of tea, rather than coffee, drinkers. I don't believe coffee was much of a thing until relatively recently (1950s on). Irish Coffee is not really an Irish thing as far as I know, it was just invented in the once important Shannon Airport. I grew up in Ireland (in a relatively teetotal family) and never heard of it. I remember Hot Toddy's (whiskey/ honey/ cloves/ lemon/ boiling water) were a traditional cure for colds etc, Irish Coffee was just some bastardized nonsense that went mainstream in the 80s.
Ireland is high up on this list of top tea consumers per capita, other studies put them in lower positions.
