The Monks of the Screw
The Monks of the Screw was the name of an Irish drinking club active in the period 1779-1789. It was also called the Order of St. Patrick.〔(Notes on the monks; accessed Dec 2009 )〕 The "screw" referred to the corkscrew required to open a bottle of wine.
==Ethos and foundation==
According to the club's song, it was founded some time in the 5th century by Ireland's patron saint: "''When Saint Patrick this order established / He called us the Monks of the Screw''". The real founder was John Philpot Curran, a convivial and popular wit and a lawyer at the Irish Bar. The members were liberal by contemporary standards, and some assisted in the first reforms of the penal laws. Most were lawyers or politicians in the Parliament of Ireland; Curran being both. Most supported the Irish Patriot Party.
