Happy St. Patty's Day!

We know it's a little early for drinking, but our selection of Emerald Isle-themed posts will get you in the mood for your first Guinness, green beer, lime-flavored bagel, Shamrock Shake or minty snowball, when the time inevitably comes.

A good way to get your shillelagh swinging is our round-up of the hottest women in Ireland (or women who say their family is half-Irish, or something).


Two or three beers in, gather around the screen with some green-attired friends and take our weirdest St. Patty's Day Traditions quiz. If you score more than five out of ten, you haven't had enough to drink yet, no matter how Irish you are.


Finally, when you're good and toasty, take inspiration from our top-ten favorite drunks.


Have a great St. Patty's Day -- and remember to bookmark our guide to hangover cures for when you wake up half-dead tomorrow. Sláinte!
