St. Patrick’s Day: The Booziest Holiday in the World

St. Patrick’s Day, also known as the Feast of St. Patrick, is a cultural and religious holiday that is celebrated with excessive drinking and an overdose of green fashion statements. It is observed every year on the 17th of March, the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

The holiday originated as a religious feast day in the 17th century, but it has now become an excuse for people all around the world to get drunk and party. In many cities, St. Patrick’s Day parades are organized, where people dress up in leprechaun outfits and consume more beer than they can handle.

St. Patrick’s Day is especially notorious for turning people’s bodily fluids green. From beer to rivers, everything turns green on this day. It’s as if someone spilled a packet of green food colouring all over the city.

But why green? Legend has it that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish people. The shamrock, a three-leaf plant, became a symbol of Ireland and the colour green became associated with the country. However, on St. Patrick’s Day, this symbolism is thrown out the window and anything that can be dyed green will be.

In recent years, St. Patrick’s Day has become a global phenomenon, celebrated by people from all cultures and religions – because who doesn’t love an excuse to get drunk and wear a goofy hat? Even non-Irish people change their last names to O’Something to join in on the festivities.

Overall, St. Patrick’s Day is a day of debauchery, green clothing, and alcohol-induced bliss. It’s the one day of the year where everyone can be Irish and no one will judge you for drinking at 9am. So put on your green garb, grab a pint of Guinness, and remember to shout “Erin go Bragh” at least once, even if you have no idea what it means. Sláinte!
