Mainly? Tea. I don't drink much alcohol at all, and when I do it's exceedingly limited.

Still waiting on that 21st to roll around so I can join in the festivities so I guess for me it'll just be tea or water. Next year though, Jameson, Guinness, or mead.

Pretty big in Australia as well. Nice to see heavyset Maori bouncers trying to pull off Irish jigs. And some are doing pretty good in fact!

Saint patrick's day can be abbreviated both ways. Ulver wrote: mattyrm wrote:What a crock of gak, this is another American holiday that we have imported.
Matty is right, the holiday was popularised and commercialised by the Americans just like Halloween and to some extent Christmas, before that saint patricks day was just another saints day.

Matty is always right. I was pissing it up in New York city on paddies day about ten years ago, and the same day passed with barely an event over here. I've seen it get more and more popular over the years..
As I said, pile of gak. I've not seen any green pints yet.. but give it a year or two

"Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early 17th century, and has gradually become a celebration of Irish culture in general." - so, before America had independence.
"Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador and in Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora, especially in places such as the Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand, among others." - so, where Irish emigrants settled.

As I said St patrick's day was just another saints day, most saints days were celebrated with a feast of some kind.
