When the measure had gone its rounds and was returned to Darby it was empty. Darby said "My curse on him who won't have the first drink himself" Thus the saying 'Darby Dennehy's curse' went about. At a wake or Christening etc. the distributor of the 'stuff' would say when supplying himself, I wont have Darby Dennehys curse"
