well im irish i live ireland,i celebrate it and me and all my friends dont drink,we r 17. i think americans shudnt celebrate it as its not a day to get drunk,its a day to go to mass and remember our patron saint. from the sound of it amreicans jus get really pissed and think they can celebrate it even tho they have no irish ties
Posted by sean at March 19, 2007 06:46 AMTo be fair, I'm a Scot who works in Ireland and Leixlip, Co. Kildare was throbbing with drunks on Saturday night. The drink casualty count was enormous the next day at work. Quite a few people didn't make it in.
So while I agree with you that it is a Holy day for Ireland, don't kid yourself that it's only Americans who go out and get mortal on the day. Your countrymen represented the drunk scene in full effect.
Did you know that St. Patrick was actually an Englishman?
