We celebrated it last saturday since spring break for us is next week. The local bar was having 1 cent green beer, and $1 jello shots, and $2 irish cream liquor. I got completely trashed.
I was just thinking about making a thread about the best day of the year, but it you beat me to it. Anyway, my plans:
Step 1. Drink Guinness Step 2. Repeat step 1 until very very very very very very drunk.
Yep, those are my plans. I love St. Paddys day. Last year I was in the pub from about 12 in the afternoon until 1 in the morning. 13 hours drinking Guinness. It was awesome. I love guiness. I'd drink it all the time if it wasn't so damned expensive. This year should be even better. My uncle and 2 of his mates are coming to visit for a couple of days, so it should be awesome. The only problem is that my local pub hasn't decided on any plans for cheap guiness yet, but no worries, we can allways go into the town if they're too expensive.

Cool, iv been to the Guinness Brewery, at the end u get a pint and a great view of Dublin.. definitly worth it.
My Favorite bar has a band playing on St Pats night and people wearing green cowboy hats get in free lol, ill be there.
I fucking hate St Patrick's day, want to know why? I am always working!
Being a barman on St Patrick's day is like E3 for a video gaming journalist. It is the most busy, hectic and chaotic day. Plus everyone drinks guiness which is the worst drink to pour when its in high demand, takes forever to settle.

Everyone in Ireland has the day off to get shit-faced at the parade. Which is exactly what I plan to do, speaking of which, has anyone had a "Baby Guinness" shot? It's Tia maria and Baileys but I just call it rocket fuel. Can't wait, Paddy's day is so much fun!

They do that everyday. Period :P
If you want an awesome St Patrick's day drink I suggest you try some Bailey's + Lime Cordial. Put the lime cordial in your mouth first, don't swallow, then drink the baileys and swish like mouthwash. Swallow and enjoy. Just remember if you feel sick, aim it behind you.

Yeah Guiness pouring is a nightmare. Takes about 2 minutes per pint. Plus you have to do the stop-start thing.
" Just remember if you feel sick, aim it behind you."
You're not supposed to tell them that it'll make them feel sick. You're supposed to pretend that it's the tastiest thing ever, and when it curdles in their mouth and becomes disgusting and they spit it out you laugh at them (or I suppose the internet equivalent would be to laugh at them when they send you abusive messages about the suggestion).

Yet no matter how well you pour it, American Guinness is disgusting. Has anyone found that? I mean, Guinness quality varies enough from pub to pub but from country to country is a global problem.

Makes sense, the closer to home it is, the better it is. Bad guinness though, i rarely encounter, but sometimes they gat a bad batch.
"I can't wait to hear how everyone has some kind of mick blood in them on this one special day."
"Mick".. O_ooh wait, you mean like alot of Americas Presidents, and the millions of American people related to Irish Immigrants?"
Yeah. Kind of like how i'm part Roman and Viking because England was invaded by them many times over the years. I love celebrating those most tenuous of heritages as an excuse to get wasted.

What the hell are you talking about? Who invaded America? Irish Famine & Troubles = People Emigrating. Immigrants Become US/Irish Citizens, therefor their children, while born in America, are also Irish.

No they're not. You have no idea what nationaliy means if you believe that. I could give it maybe 3 generations or so but when your family has lived in America for so long and all of a sudden, oh, you've got an Irish great great great great great great great grandad and you use that as an excuse to celebrate St. Paddy's day, then you're really clutching at straws and it sound super pathetic considering no one cares and just parties anyway. My family is half irish but no one really cares as none of us speak with an Oirish twang or have any real connection besides that my great grandad was from there and really, that doesn't give me enough of a reason to join in a day which is meant to celebrate the Irish. It'd be like my cousin using me as an excuse to celebrate some LGBT pride day or something.

Fair enough, anything older than 3 generations does seem a little bit, erm "plastic paddy"
It's tomorrow now, and I'm really excited. My uncle and his friend is up here, and we've been drinking today preparing for tomorrow, when Guinness will be £1.50!!!! That's a bargain. It was £ 1.50 last year and beer prices have skyrocketed since then, we were thinking we'd be lucky to get it for £2 this year, but £1.50 is unbelievable.
I've got two cases of Shiner Hefeweizen in the fridge at the house waiting for midnight tonight, motherfuckers!!! That + my "troll mug" (it holds 3 longnecks), and I'll be set for the night with the roomies.
Did everyone have a good day yesterday? I definitely did. Had plenty cheap guinness to drink, had a good laugh, really enjoyed myself. And even better, to my surprise I was hangover free this morning. Now that's a result.
