1. It's a drinking holiday! What's not to like?
2. It's a celebration of Irish heritage.
3. My city is overtaken with drunk college kids, so I hate it.
4. The drinking part's a little out of control, but it's fun overall.
5. It's an excuse for me to get drunk, but afterward I always regret it.

It's a celebration of the Irish monks that invented whiskey...not really, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Our guide said, In tour of ireland, St Patrick came to get rid of the snakes in ireland. What really it is, he came to introduce catholicism and effectively demolish paganism, symbol of snake. So St Patrick is liberation from paganism.

I know what it symbolizes...
And I already know I have Irish blood in me. It's kind of a fun day. And I like to see people get excited about it. I just don't like to wear green too much or eat a lot of green things...
So I just get off on people having fun. :)
