MKRN, just because you know you will want to have a beer doesn't mean you have to follow through with the thought. I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Ireland yet, but if I was going, I'd be planning to walk on a lot of the beautiful beaches. I'd also plan to check out a lot of the historical sites. Making lifestyle changes to support my recovery was crucial for me. Plan ahead and make a decision you will not drink, no matter what.
