Cool. Mebee I could mix it with some Guinness.

You know, THAT sounds like a good "Don't worry about

the Browns 2014 NFL draft" tonic.

Good for what AILS Browns fans. I'll let you all know how well it works...

On St Patrick's Day everybody wants to be Irish!

Germans are fine drinkers, no doubts. But the eastern europeans drink home-made vodka like it's water! Interesting to see South Korea up there - I didn't get the impression of much boozing while there. But then, wherever I went for dinner they basically gave is this sake variant, sometimes so 'unrefined' that it still had bits of rice in, which of course soaked up all the alcohol and acted like those tequila worms. Potent stuff.

They've been sticking it up the Irish ass for the pass 800 years. hundreds of thousands of Irish deaths are directly related to England's history of mistreatment. Most of us Irish will carry that grudge to our graves.

The place I work at distibutes Sprecher Hard Rootbeer. It has 5% alcohol and it tastes just like sweet rootbeer, I don;t think it's Irish but I have tasted it and it's pretty good, if you like rootbeer https://www.sprecherbrewery.com/hrb.php

In Ireland, they go to church on St. Patrick's day. Then they do have a "feast". Lots of good food primarily. It is celebrated more like we celebrate Thanksgiving here. Though I am sure, even there, unless perhaps it falls on a Sunday, they do their share of drinking. They do their share of drinking everyday there, so St. Pats day in not really any different. But, check this out: the Irish don't match up to most Eastern European countries when it come to the consumption of booze. (and of course Muslim countries don't drink...to bad for them.)

Yeah, St. Patrick is turning over in his grave seeing his Feast Day turned into one big drunkfest.

I think the big partying started because back when Catholic restrictions in Lent were way stricter than they are now- and drinking was allowed on March 17th. Whoopee!!! Pass the Harp, Guinness, and Irish whiskey.

Oh, it's a National Holiday in Ireland.

Well, the Irish Diaspora to America is a big reason for this. That, plus, quite frankly, the Irish are just more fun than the English and perhaps even the Scottish. (this coming from a person whose mother was born in Ireland, raised in England, but moved to America as a war bride)

Perhaps those of English descent here in America should make a bigger deal of St. George's Day, apparently April 23d

http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/stgeorge.html

And since there are as many Scots in America as Irish, I am not sure why St. Andrew's day is not celebrated more. It is November 30th. Perhaps too soon after Thanksgiving and too close to Christmas. But there ought to be some celebrations where the drinking of Scotch Whiskey would be in vogue, no?

As a retired firefighter, we celebrate St. Florian's day everyday with a toast or two!

I WILL raise a toast to all with my Harp Lager, opened with my prized heirloom, my Grandpa Flanagan's own personal beer bottle opener. It may look like hell, but it still works just fine.

May your glass be ever full.

May the roof over your head be always strong.

And may you be in heaven

half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!!!

Mike Flanagan
