Ya know it really isn't a drinking holiday.. and while I'm not latino/hispanic, I was reading about some older-generation Latinos who are pissed at what the celebration has become. It's a festival of their culture and history, not alcohol.
In California they are holding huge alcohol and tobacco free festivals to bring back the culture and family-oriented nature of the event.
Not to say that I'm against drinking, certainly.. and I hope you enjoy your booze however and whenever you choose to enjoy it, I know I will ..but let us not forget what the holiday is about.

lol. Well, not quite. Cinco de Mayo commemorates a Mexican army victory over French troops that had been sent by Napoleon to collect on the Mexican national debt.
Which is pretty funny when you think about it.

I know what Cinco De Mayo is, but that doesnt have anything to do with why America celebrates it.
I live basically in mexico holmes. Southern California.
The mexicans here dont celebrate no damn French American war crap, they get cheap Corona and are glad to be the fuck out of mexico and be drinking ICE COLD corona in California and NOT MEXICO
