American holidays, even those that originated elsewhere, fall under three basic categories: eat-meat holidays, devour-candy holidays, and quaff-liquor holidays. We will call the last category—which includes New Year’s Eve, Cinco De Mayo, and St. Patrick’s Day—the “alcoholidays.” Most Americans associate these days only with drunkenness.
Drinking is a ritual associated with other holidays, of course. But the drinking is secondary. For instance, Independence Day is a drink-liquor-and-eat-hot-dogs holiday; Valentine’s Day is a drink-liquor-and-cry-into-your-pillow holiday. Memorial and Labor Days are foremost about working, dying, and barbequing.
But the true alcoholidays are all about getting wasted. And drinking on St. Patrick’s Day, usually on March 17th, is even accommodated by the church. But so much does the Catholic Church, which must own all holidays with the word “Saint” in it, care so much for our privilege to consume green beer that, to avoid conflict with the holy week (Easter is this Sunday), they moved St. Patrick’s Day back before the holy week began. That’s right… it already happened. On Saturday.
But you’re not Catholic, are you? And you don’t conform to arbitrary edicts from way over there in the Vatican City, do you? Us Yankees got us a parade in New York today. And we got booze here in Seattle, so you can drink like your Irish—tonight. Cheers.

You made some Good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree.
Howdy, I was researching the net for ideas for valentines day and I discovered your site. Keep up the excellent work.
Great weblog. Thank you for this post.
By far the most concise and up to date information I found on this topic. Sure glad that I navigated to your page by accident. I’ll be subscribing to your feed so that I can get the latest updates. Appreciate all the information here
Excellent ideas here, have emailed my mum so expect a big reply!!
I Really recognize what your stance in this topic is. Although I may disagree on several of the finer details, I think that you did an astounding job explaining it. Without a doubt beats the need to study it on my own. Cheers.
I find myself returning to your web-site only because you have some brilliant insights and you happen to be at this a very long time, that’s very impressive and tells me you know your stuff.
We really enjoy what you write about here. I try and visit your blog every day so keep up the good posts!
Good points raised here. I am grateful to you for that, however you deserve more thanks than that. I suffer from color blindness (deuteranopia in my case). I mainly use Opera browser (no idea if that changes anything), and a considerabland a number of web sites are challenging to comprehend thanks to a careless range of colours used. However, here, as the range of colors is good, the design is extremely tidy and pleasant to comprehend. I don’t know whether it was a premeditated and conscious undertaking, or just the ‘luck of the draw’, but I still thank you.
Bear in mind you might not always win. A few days, the most ingenious individual is likely to taste defeat. But there is, in cases like this, always the day after tomorrow - just after you have done your best to get success today.
This is a great post, I stumbled across your post while looking for some random stuff. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to recommend this site to others.

Hello, I see all your writings, keep them coming.
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
been following your blog for 3 days now and i must say i’m starting to like your submit. and now how do i subscribe to your blog?
