be sure to also give her a run-down on the "rounds" systems, commonly employed in pubs. rounds exist primarily to demonstrate the generosity of the irish people, and are especially popular when entertaining foreigners. visitors should by NO MEANS put their hand in their pocket to buy a drink--this would be considered a prime insult. instead they should sit happily by and allow their hosts to each demonstrate his/her own wealth and generosity by buying drinks for the table. should there arise a situation in which the visitor finds him/herself with an empty glass, it's considered good form to politely remind an individual who has yet to buy drinks that the drink has been held up on their sluggishness. employing a term of endearment shows a friendly familiarity and takes any sting out of the reminder. eg:
