1 A metal is a lattice of positive metal 'ions' in a 'sea' of delocalised electrons. 2  Metallic bonding refers to the interaction between the delocalised electrons and the metal nuclei. 3  The physical properties of metals are the result of the delocalisation of the electrons involved in metallic bonding. The physical properties of solid metals are: 2  conduct heat. 3  conduct electricity. 4  generally high melting and boiling points. 5  strong. 6  malleable (can be hammered or pressed out of shape without breaking). 7  ductile (able to be drawn into a wire). 8  metallic lustre. 9  opaque (reflect light).
However most Irish people would drink lagers, such as Carlsberg, Heineken, Budweiser, as well as less common european ones. Cider is a quite popular drink as well, particularily during summer, Bulmers would be the main brand drunk.
A hot toddy, also known as hot whiskey in Ireland, is typically a mixed drink made of liquor and water with honey (or, in some recipes, sugar), herbs (such as tea) and spices, and served hot. Hot toddy recipes vary and are traditionally drunk before retiring for the night, or in wet or cold weather.
