Tá fhios agam go bhfuil an cheist aisteach anseo, ach...... Cad é an nós sa dhiúgaireacht deochanna boga In Éirinn? An bhfuil sé trioblóideach mar in Meiriceá?

I know this is a strange question, but .....what is the manner in which soft drinks are drank in Ireland? Is it a problem like in America?

Cad é an fhadhb i Meiriceá? Cinnte, ní bhíonn na deochanna sin chomh maith dod chuid fhiacla, ach níl ceist mhór ann. Ceapaimse go bhfuil a lán rudaí eile níos measa ná deochanna mianraí (mar shampla, alcól is drugaí). Agus fé lathair, bíonn feoil chapaill ar an nuacht beagnach gach lá.

Léigh mé tuairisc nó dhó le déanaí a dúirt go gcuireann na deochanna boga gan siúcra "sugar free, light" leis an diaibéiteas níos mó ná na deochanaa le siúcra iontu. Ní fadhbanna sláinte atá chun tosaigh in Éirinn anois, chun na fírinne a rá. 'Sea, bhí scéal ann le déanaí faoin bhfeoil chapall (ceart leis an ngramadach?), ach don chuid is mó ní hí an tsláinte ár bhfócas (ar a laghad ó thaoobh deochanna de.

There's not the same culture of "post mix" drinks in Europe as in North America. Post mix machines (the "taps" with cardboard cups) are normally only seen in fast food restaurants. If you go into a corner shop (convenience store), you'll be either buying a 330ml can or a bottle (often 500ml) that can be closed and saved for later.

So you don't see people walking out of a shop with one of the infamous "Big Gulp" cups like you do in America. In fact, there's hardly even a fast food restaurant anywhere in Europe that will serve a portion that large.
