Nota: when speaking about alcohol in public areas, we have to
add here in France a mandatory legal notice:
"L'abus d'alcool est dangereux pour la sante, appreciez et
consommez le avec moderation."
Despite your French notice about danger to the health (not to the sanity, though that might be true, too), Guinness was actually introduced as a health drink. I think the problem was that too many Irish people were spending their money on whiskey and not eating well, so Arthur Guinness introduced a drink that was so full of nutrients that you could live on it, and so heavy that you can't drink enough of it to get drunk!
