Not being Irish, I really have no reason to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Really, I don’t like the color green, nor do I need a real motive to get completely shitfaced. Still, I’ve a festive fellow, but to be fair, I’ve began thinking of celebrating all holidays in the way so many celebrate St. Patty’s:

New Years: Already have Champaign
Valentine’s Day: A nice red wine
President’s Day: Whiskey for Washington
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: A Michelob for the Black People
Easter: Some Liquor for the Lord
etc.

The trouble comes when you get to Hanukah. I mean…that’s seven days right? And you’re basically playing with fire each night, lighting candles and what not? Granted I’m sure it would make playing dreidle a lot more fun.

As for Christmas, to quote Jim Gaffigan, it basically is a custom that sounds like it was created by drunk people:

“Honey…is that a pine tree?”
“Yeah…and we’re gonna decorate it. And then I’m going to hang my socks over the fireplace…and put candy in them...and then I’m gonna puke on the couch…”

So…what other holidays do you think deserve the St. Patty’s treatment, for all fairness of course? :p

Thanksgiving. To show how far removed we are from the Puritans.

Edit: And it's not like you need to Pattify New Year's, there's a reason New Year's Day is Official Hangover Day

How about every day that ends in "y"? :)

I wonder if any spammers remember last Easter in Choose Wisely when I drank that whole bottle of vodka? Or New Years Eve in the world celebration thread?

Every holiday is a reason to get drunk. Every time you have alcohol is a reason to get drunk.

Bottle of Green Apply Smirnoff two weeks ago. I don't need a frickin' holiday to tell me when to get wasted, laddy.

Green Apple? I see I'm not the only fan of Green Apple vodka! Let's get drunk some time. http://forums.gzevolution.net/images/smilies/new3/drunk.gif

Oy, well you're from Philly and I'm planning a trip there in the near future to meet with the drinkin buddies, which I'm told some people refer to as "room mates". Will have to plan something.

I always say that Paddy's day isn't an excuse for us to drink, we don't need one, it's an excuse for us to get the rest of the world drinking with us.
