Irish intervention

An Irish intervention is when a group of friends get together to tell one of the group they're not drinking enough an occasion on which a person with an addiction or other behavioural problem is confronted by a group of friends or family members in an attempt to persuade them to address the issue.

We had an Irish intervention for Ben he's just not getting through his 12 Guinness per night out.
