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


Question: I know there actually is a meaning behind the holiday. But I want to know if you go up to any of the people in a bar in St. Patricks Day, can they answer what St. Patricks Day is really. I doubt any of them would know. It's just an excuse to get drunk in my opinion. What about you?

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!

.

every holiday is an excuse to get drunk

Yer, and eat sausages

I think so!

NOO!!! I think it's a day to dress up like a leprechaun.

So what do you call Mardi Gras, New Years, Christmas, and 4th of July... and Memorial Day..... and Thanksgiving,,,,, and superbowl sunday..... you get my point!

I drink on paddys day, am i an idiot? why was I not told?

That is what lots of people does.

Yeah, so, yeah, so.

I don't need excuses, I need a bottle

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

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.

Yes. And an excuse to dye beer green. But I don't find anything wrong in finding a reason to have fun with your friends.

ME

I don't drink. For a lot, I agree, it's just another holiday for people to party and drink.

lol.. you must not be old enuff to go out on St. Paddy's Day..

(drunks don't need a HOLIDAY to drink, and neither do idiot's..)

I am Irish and this Irish idiot will use this holiday to the best of her ability to get stinking drunk and sing Ol danny boy out of tune and loudly

I agree with you on that and I hope I get hammered on st pattys day.

I don't~

who needs a excuse, defitnetly no a good Irishman

have a Guinness fir me.

yeah it probably is
but if u cant beat em, join em

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..

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.

Whoa!! i wasnt aware of that!!!

whatever, it's a big deal in ireland and rightly so, it's a big deal in america too and not so rightly anything, it's just a comercial spun "wear a funny hat and spend money" style holiday.

good point.....party on!

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

I think it is about killing gingers not unlike yourself.

foolish

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...

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.
