Green foamy Guiness, 4 Leaf Clovers and Shamrock shakes rule the day. Media frenzy and commercialism abound all year round and St. Patrick's Day is no exception. Whether your Irish or not you probably looked for something green in your wardrobe to put on today.
In an age where so many people are (almost) painfully health conscious and food aware, it seems like sheer madness to proclaim raise a mug of green beer and yell Slainte. This Irish saying cheers your good health and is pronounced slan-tay. Now remember that is coming from a land of people who truly believe that God invented drinking so that the Irish wouldn't rule the world.
The Irish buzz only last a day or two-some start celebrating early and carry on for days-but every year the holiday grows a little larger as merchants hope to increase their bottom line. This predictable trend cannot be overlooked for that very reason and one other: If you can't have a drink while your living, how the hell can ya drink while yer dead?
