I’m a thirtysomething, sport watching, country music listening, travel loving, beer drinking, movie geekin, child of the 80’s

Oh did I mention that I’m a husband and a Daddy to two little Men?

I’m the intermittent voice behind the LiquorJunky blog that I started back in 2015, mainly as an outlet for my drinking hobby, a showcase for my home bar and as a diversion from some health issues of the mind kind.


5 years down the line I have found the bar to be dry, dry in terms of inspirational words to write about boozing & alcohol. Don’t misread me, I’m still deeply in love with all aspects of good beer and will continue my experimentation on Instagram & Twitter, but it is said that a change is as good as a rest. Rest, I remember rest!

And that’s how I find myself here, writing this. A dry spell on one river has made room for the walls of the dam to crack on another. All on a topic so obvious that I never even considered talking about it.

It is of course, parenting! As a fat
her of two previously alluded to boys (6 & 9) I have a locker full of shrapnel embedded war wounds, pearls of well fought for wisdom & tales of the lowest woes pinned to my chest, all of which I am ready to share.

Parenting, babysitting, fatherhood and family life! Also referred to as the biggest shock that ever hit my system and something I have crafted my own brand of survival for, barely! Seem a little over the top for you expectant fathers? You have no idea my friends, no idea.

But, of course, It’s not all bad, in fact some moments can be almost joyous, magical even, but real life Parenting is hard, harder than diamond encrusted rock. The kind that rich girl wore on the soles of her shoes. Hard, especially for Men (settle ladies, it not a contest) and doubly especially hard for the introverted alone time craving kind, just like
me!

No Sir, despite what you see on social media, It’s not all filtered, posed family selfies and gushing tales of pride over the latest achievement.
It’s spaghetti on your shirt, shitty nappy on your shoe, screaming baby, spilt milk, self administered vasectomy in the kitchen drawer, kind of reality!

By n
ow you may have realised that as the name suggests, this isn’t Mumsnet.
Neither is it a vote for or against having kids merely an honest, very honest, and real look at being with child in these crazy times. There will be tears, tantrums, finger paints on the screen, and that's just from me, but hopefully somewhere in the madness I can help you survive what even Special Forces training cant, Kids!!!

You might be wondering about LiquorJunky

We have been drinking legally since 1999... and responsibly since 2001

LiquorJunky.com was the booze soaked brain child of an alcohol enthusiast from Ireland. Working from the purpose built LiquorJunky bar in a quiet little corner of this very green very wet Island. This site is first and foremost for the craic, but you may find something interesting along the way.

The bar itself was established in 2013, having been created out of necessity​​, as somewhere to store the ever growing spirit collection. Like all great ideas the premise for this site was conceived over a few pints one winters afternoon and began to take shape a few months later.

As the name implies LiquorJunky is all about Booze. Liquor gets a bad press, some people even want it banned, again. Obviously we think that those folks are crazy, here at LiquorJunky.com and the LiquorJunky bar we celebrate everything with an ABV. Don't get me wrong, Responsible drinking is a must, in fact it's one of our rules.


In August 2018 the standalone LiquorJunky website was adapted into DaddyDemented.com. We are still serious about drinking, but other ideas had began to form and the blog itself was beginning to fall behind its social media namesakes. The plan is to continue promoting responsible drinking, especially concerning local craft beers, so we maintain that only those of legal drinking age, in their respective country should buy or consume alcohol

LiquorJunky continues to grow on both Instagram & Twitter with approximately 1350 fillowers across both platforms
