Anyone who has visited Ireland - Is it true that Ireland is full of drunk people?

So I’m planning to visit Ireland next month. I have always been eager to visit Ireland since it is famous for its amazing natural beauty as well as rich history. I genuinely am looking forward to visiting this beautiful place. Before making any further plans, I want to know if it is actually safe in Ireland? I think safety is the most important thing when it comes to traveling. I have heard that Irish people are heavy drinkers and people are drunk almost all the time. It might be a stereotype but I have heard it quite often. If that’s the case, I might face some problems or inconveniences while traveling in Ireland.<br><br>Can anyone who has visited Ireland share their experience? Was it safe?
