Any reason to drink in excess is a good idea for Americans.

I know man..I do the same thing..

drinking in excess mid-week = get away from the normal lame work week.

**DrChango** · 03-17-2009, 11:53 AM

We don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo for the hell of it, we do so out of consideration for the legions of Mexicans that live here because their country has gone down the tubes ;)

As far as St. Patty's Day...have you been to Boston? There are so many Irish ex-pats there it isn't even funny.

**BlackCrayon** · 03-17-2009, 11:57 AM

you're basically right but since america is a mix of all kinds of cultures its no surprise that certain days would catch on. You won't find anyone celebrating cinco de mayo around here but st pattys is a big deal due to the high level of irish in this area.

Because America is a diverse and multi-cultural community.. A lot of us are Irish or grew up in irish communities.. etc..

Why don't you go back to mexico and stfu?

America is a whole big melting pot of excuses to get drunk. We still like to have them - its' the other countries that don't feel guilty about it.

Basically.
Did you notice that all holidays if they are religious or not are no longer "real" ?
They are all a marketing thing to get people to spend money.
So it is not the people who are celebrating this, but the stores and manufactures who brainwash people with the need to celebrate it so they can sell them things.

mooo money mooo money mooo money

Wow that is a really weird way to put it. Very few americans are form America and you know that as you live here according to threads I have seen.

**CIVMatt** · 03-17-2009, 12:37 PM

Yes because America has no Irish or (cough) Mexicans in it

I thought you of all people would have understood taking advantage of any and all holidays that can be used as an excuse to get drunk.

Strange facts about this day:

The first St. Patrick's Day parade was in the US.

The original color associated with St. Patrick was blue.

in 2006 more people attended the St. Patrick's Day parade in Savannah, Georgia than in Dublin, Ireland.

They always taught us Welsh in catholic school. I can't seem to find anything using Google to suggest otherwise.
