British Army records are not kept in Ireland so the National Archives in Kew I guess.

As much as I have looked at this document I can’t see the excess drinking and climate bit, I’ve have no Doubts In My mind this was the case lol just can’t see that bit
Could you point me in right direction.
Thanks Val
