Just mingle with the guests, and you'll be bought plenty of the stuff. Each family assumes you belong to the other. Be careful what you say though!!

My father and a few friends of his were in Portmarnock when they were younger, and wanted free drink. So they went to a yacht club, and got the best-dressed of them (now sadly deceased) to go up to the front door and say to the doormen: <i>'Frightfully choppy out today, boys, what?'</i> A river of drink soon followed.
