PIC: This funny question about being drunk popped up in an Irish primary school textbook

This should keep the kids in school

This should keep the kids in school.

You can’t put a price on a good education and while we’ve all indulged in a few drinks, it’s important that young people know the dangers of excessive drinking and the perils of a subsequent hangover.

It seems that Irish children are learning at a much younger age about the nature of being rat-arsed drunk, especially is this example that was sent into us by JOE reader Meabh Cournane is anything to go by.

She tells us that her daughter came across this boozy multiple choice question in her English textbook ‘Reading Zone’. In Meabh’s own words “my daughter is in 6th class. She was doing her work and burst into hysterics so I asked her what was wrong and she actually took the p**s out of this question herself by saying it in a posh English accent”

 

Take a look at this valuable life lesson that Irish students are learning. Stay in school kids.
