I think I know the one you are on about, it is where his father has a problem with drink and he saves him from it by getting drunk as a child. At a wake or something, and the father does not drink often but goes on a bender when he does?

That sounds really familiar. It's still nagging at me though and everything I come up with turns out to be wrong. It must be a recurring scene in a lot of Irish fiction.
It may have bee Fiche Bliain ag Fás but I can't seem to find the extract when I look. I must look for my old textbooks next time I visit my folks and see if they're still around.

I tried to google it, I can remember the story, the boys father does not drink often but when he does he spends all the money and is the joke of the town when he does drink. Anyway the father is going to a wake and brings to son, he decieds to have a drink but the son steals it and the father thinks someone stole it. When he finds the son drunk he brings the boy home and the boy insults the neighbors I think, After wards the mother thanks the son for saving the father.
Can't find it for the life of me.
