St George's Day here. From what I've seen since moving though, St Paddy's day for sure. All the plastics come out for that one. Personally, I prefer a margarita over Guinness.
I work these holidays alot and Id have to say...mardi gras is the biggest drunkfest in the country....st pats has gotten shut down in alot of cities for too much drinky...noone goes to cinco de mayo cuz they think theyll get deported.
When I used to drink a lot more than I do now I would always avoid St Patrick's day. Too many once-a-year charlies getting wasted and causing fights and general trouble.
We don't really hang out with drinkers, but based on my husband's two alcoholic sisters I'm going to say St. Patrick's Day. Then again, they're gonna be sloshed on May 5 too so...
It is a holiday in Mexico but mostly only celebrated in one state, Puebla. Its the celebration of Independance from France at the battle of Puebla, but SD Auntie is also correct, in that their real independance day is 16 September. Viva la Grita!
If Catwoman moved to Nepal, what would Catman do?
ReplyDeleteSt. Patrick's Day for sure.
ReplyDeleteJamesons is a family thing, but I love a margarita
ReplyDeleteSt Patrick's Day, I don't know anyone that gets up early to drink on Cinco De Mayo. Unfortunately I can't say the same about St Pat's.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this even being asked. St Pats all day every day. Everyone celebrates it.
ReplyDeleteSt George's Day here.

It's usually St. Patrick's Day but this year is also Kentucky Derby Day on Cinco de Mayo, so this year only, it's Dos Equis and Bourbon day.
ReplyDeleteAmateur hours
ReplyDeleteI'm not into either. And really, who needs an excuse?
ReplyDeleteWednesday
ReplyDeleteCinco de mayo is a fake holiday.
ReplyDeleteMy Irish heritage compels me to say St. Patrick’s Day - no contest :)
ReplyDeleteNeither. Both are for amateurs.
ReplyDeleteThe correct answer is - Tuesday.
Neither but I do like Hogmanay.
ReplyDeleteWait - Cinco lands on Derby Day. Derby Day is an American holiday. So is St. Patrick's day.
ReplyDeleteWait - when are we drinking?
I prefer Star Warso de Mayo, ie tomorrow, maythefourthbewithyouall.
ReplyDeleteBut being Irish I usually have a small glass or two on Paddy's Day.
Personally for me, St. Patrick's day because it's the day before my birthday.
ReplyDeleteCinco De Mayo is my youngest kid's birthday, so that day is more about him than me getting my drink on. This year he turns 21 so...
Never partied on either one. Post high school, being in a crowd of people drinking excessively bores me to tears.
ReplyDeleteWest coast is cinco de mayo, east coast is st patricks day, south is mardi gras, north is.....sturgis???

DeleteAlso kikibunny, it is NOT a holiday in Mexico. Independence day is September 16th.

ReplyDeletePlus that f'ng green beer.
St. Pat's, but in Philly, I think Thanksgiving Eve is the biggest drinking day of them all.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace the power of "and."
ReplyDeleteSt. Patricks Day AND Cinco de Mayo
I have equal enthusiasm for all drinking days.
ReplyDeleteSt Pats, of course! No one gives a crap about that Mexican holiday.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really hang out with drinkers, but based on my husband's two alcoholic sisters I'm going to say St. Patrick's Day. Then again, they're gonna be sloshed on May 5 too so...
ReplyDeleteLive near Boston, so definitely Saint Patricks. It is craziness.
ReplyDeleteIt's DEFINITELY CINCO DE MAYO where I'm from!
ReplyDeleteIt is a holiday in Mexico but mostly only celebrated in one state, Puebla. Its the celebration of Independance from France at the battle of Puebla, but SD Auntie is also correct, in that their real independance day is 16 September. Viva la Grita!
ReplyDeleteI had to choose between drinking or keeping my job in November of 2000. So I chose the job since I was too old to move in with my parents.
ReplyDeleteWise choice, Lucky, wise choice.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you're related to Enty?
