EDITORS COMMENTS
The concerned Priest asks, his brow furrowed as he gazes intently into the glassy eyes of the man before him. The year is 1893, and the setting is the rural countryside of Ireland. Pat, a local farmer and known to be a heavy drinker, sits at the table, his hands wrapped around a glass filled to the brim with amber-colored whiskey. His response, delivered with a slur and a smirk, "Sometoimes Wan; sometoimes Two; but never less than three, Your Riverance." The Priest's hand reaches out to gently rub his chin, a look of unsureness and concern etched on his face. The image captures a moment of tension between two men, one struggling with the grip of alcoholism, and the other, a man of the cloth, trying to offer guidance and concern for the wellbeing of his flock. The history of Ireland is riddled with tales of heavy drinking and the consequences that come with it. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggle against alcoholism that was, and in some cases still is, a part of Irish culture. The Priest's question, though simple, speaks volumes about the societal norms of the time and the complex relationship between faith, community, and the consumption of alcohol.
