When it comes to St. Patty's Day, there are some who go all corned-beef-and-cabbage, and others who hunt down green beer, snowballs and bagels. We definitely fall into the latter camp. Test your knowledge of the oddest pastimes that somehow got wrapped up with
kicking the snakes out of Ireland.

I am Irish, Scot and Dutch German and I can only speak for myself when I say that I am proud of my heritage. I am not so worried about howw you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day but I think that the Irish celebrate because they are proud and proud of the contribution they have made in this world. They are, for the most part, a happy people that are hard workers and can sing, tell stories and in general enjoy a good time. I don't drink green beer but then I don't drink beer. I am proud to celebrate that day and what it represents to me and my family.Happy Saint Patricks' Day!

The non-Irish people in the US just use St Patrick's Day as an excuse to drink. Like one of the comments said, in Ireland its a religious day. They dont drink on the 17th, they revel in the history of the country. On that fateful Sunday in 1972, the British attacked an unarmed citizenry in Dover and it was sad. The Irish people just wanted freedom from British rule and they paid the price. Americans in this country should be thankful we have all the freedoms we do, in other countries they are not easily afforded.

I enjoy St. Patrick's day, and though I am not Irish, I am not unapologetic about how I celebrate St. Paddy's day. It gives me an excuse to try to "immerse" myself in Irish food (though probably americanized) and drink. People who drink green beer and wear goofy green outfits are a-holes.
