POLL: Who thinks that St. Patricks Day is just idiots' excuse to get drunk?

100% - even the non-Irish use it for an excuse.

BTW, everyone forgets that 3/19 is St. Joseph's Day, Patron St of Italy, you're supposed to wear red, but we don't go out and get drunk because of it!

.

Want another excuse? Come down to the University of Illinois for Unofficial St. Patrick's Day (you'll have to wait til next year though cuz it was last weekend). Basically the entire campus starts drinking at friday at 7 am and on through the day and night in celebration of st patty's day, since the real one is always during spring break. Its pretty crazy, sea of green.

I completely agree with you! I'm tired of walking on drunk people on St. Patricks Day!! LOL

It being a holiday associated with the Irish, how could getting drunk be anything but a tribute to Irish people everywhere.

No, really, I think most people think it is all about wearing green, getting kissed and green beer.

No, I do not think that it is. I like to drink on Saint Patrick's Day, but I do not need an "excuse" - if I want to drink, I will do so, regardless of whether or not it is a holiday.

I think it's that way here in the States!

I think there other holidays which are just way too overdone by the retailers! Mother's, Father's days, Christmas..

Strange this is the only holiday we celebrate with respect

it opens the season for us here it contributes to the

reality that we are a comunity and they stop to celebrate

those whom stand and wave the whole community'

and they eat dance sing and not a srap of confetti is on the ground just a few debris on the beach ;the souvaniers

and the peace of tradition. [our parade] and the

ST ROSE.. the mom of a boy named JOHN,,

WHOM HAD A DREAM and it was granted to him

in the name of his father and his SRIRIT [THE GREEN ]

...OF DUBLIN.. the ROCK ON ,,IRON RAIL ROAD WORKERS !! [the uniform] hell let them steam up

those engines HOT .. THE REAL .TRAIN !!

ITS ,,whats a call it ESP..STEAM PRIDE !! [IRISH]

tomorrow is womens day, I wonder will it be a good excuse to get drunk from the booes or from all those flawor smells when u go out, they sell flowers at any corner of the streets and it's getting pretty enoying

Same as Mardi Gras if u ask me or for a typical alcholic it's just a regular day to get drunk

I'm sorry. I didn't know I HAD to know about a holiday's historical significance in order to celebrate it. I must've missed that memo...

If that question was supposed to make me feel bad, try again. I'm hittin' the pub. Because I can.

Being over 21 kinda gives me that right, you know...
