I thought this was going a different way. Specifically, I thought Rip was going to pour it in the sink visible in the thumbnail. Faked me out!

As an Irishman I can assure you that Rip is 100% correct.

One year we regifted Powers Irish Whiskey so often it became a running gag. And I do mean gag.

I saw Rip eat ice cream once. That time and this video are the only times I've seen Rip smile with pure, child-like joy.

Phew, for a moment I thought we were in bizzarro world and Rip had gone to the dark side.

And yes, the sink in the background was a nice head fake.

Can't fool me, that was coloured water you poured down the sink hole. Anyway Jameson is for making cocktails, not drinking.

I knew Rip wasn't going to drink it before the video even started, as I'm sure most did. Fantastic use of Jameson - toilet cleaner - who knew? Thanks Rip.

It was a bottle of Jameson. Nick bought it, I poured it out.

Do you realize then, my temporary Irish friend, the effect that will have on the microbes that inhabit your septic system? Hmm! The IRA will not take kindly to pouring any Irish product down the "Jacks"!

I thought about that. We flushed a couple of times, for the dilution.
