Can anybody translate this into Irish Gaelic?

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we go to sleep.
When we go to sleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to HeaveN.
So let's all drink, and go to HeaveN!!!

And I am not sure if there is a word in Gaelic for drinking normal beverages, rather than drinking alcohol. If there are two separate words, use the alcohol one ::lol::, thanks...Oh yeah, I want it to be as grammaticaly (sp?) correct as possible, but I also want it to be short...::lol:: I am not quite sure, just make it as short as possible with the least grammatical, incorrect, or slang phrases, please... **Thanks**

Nuair a ólaimid, éirimid ar meisce.
Nuair a éirimid ar meisce, téimid a chodladh.
Nuair a théimid a chodladh, ní phacaímid.
Nuair nach bpacaímid, téimid chuig Neamh
Mar sin, ólaimis uilig, agus téimis chuig Neamh!

Thanks, Conor, can I get a second on that? And a pronunciation, please? If not, thanks anyway!

Pronunciation:

/Nooir u oelim-id, ie-reem-id er mishki.
Nooir u ie-reem-id er mishki, chae-im-id u kholoo.
Nooir u chae-im-id u kholoo, nee fakh-aee-mid.
Nooir Nukh paak-aee-mid, chae-im-id khooig Now
Mur shin, oelimish i-log, ugus chae-mish khooif Now!/

Bear in mind that is a Connemara dialect...

Yep, Conor's translation is superb.

Thanks, I am just double checking some pronunciation things...

// Nur (rhymes with "lure") ah ole-ih-midge, ear-ih-midge air mesh-ka,
Nur ah ear-ih-midge air mesh-ka, ch-ay-ih-midge ah co-luu,
