The taxi driver who picked me up at Dublin Airport said: “A few days ago a man was waving at me with two bottles of beer. I stopped and I asked him: ‘Do you know what you have in your hands?’ He said: ‘That’s to keep my balance.’ I said: ‘Come closer.’ He came closer and then I told him to fuck off. ‘That means you are not taking me?’ he asked. Alcohol and drugs, that’s the worst combination."
