I am not really to have roe with you. but, I know of many Irish bar owners in the us who close on St. Patrick's day due to the derelict behavior of the non Irish.....I know you have fun in Ireland but all I can say is you would be super surprised at what ppl outside of Ireland do on St. Patrick's day.....It is common experience of Irish immigrants to the Us to be horriffied by the behavior of Americans on St. Patrick's Day. Dude, ppl here are not seasoned drinkers.
I just love how you use links to tell an Irish person what goes on his country. How have I not noticed you before or is this a one off retarded outburst? And no your point was not that we would be surprised that we can handle our drink better, it was that I'm not Irish if I don't say we go to church and spend time with family.
Despite what little nice fairy island you've concocted in your head, religion is dying in Ireland. Notice how your first link is written by a granny, check the photo. I still can't get enough joy out of the fact that you used a link to try persuade me.
St. Patricks day is not a saints day, we get absolutely wasted, police force is increased, you will see at least 5 people drunk alseep on the streets walking through any city. Its an absolute mess and chaos and its amazing. If you really enjoy St. Patricks day you need to come drink in Dublin for the day.
So no, the majority of us do not go to the church and spend time with family.
Also thanks for making me laugh out loud at the thought of "many" bar owners closing on one of their most profitable days of the year.
