I moved to Iceland in May 2001. I was 23, and by this time, a product of working-class Irish Catholicism and Lower East Side punk rock hijinx both, I had already about a solid decade of alcohol abuse under my belt.

I found a culture similar to the one I left behind, I found a whole nation of drinking buddies.
