    Ive only ever been to the pub i think twice on Paddy's day much rather gettin out and about. Especially since its a beautiful day out. I would normally go for a hike or a run on the beach alsa today though Im stuck in studying!!!

    Was supposed to go Croke Park, but now have to work. Will be finished early, but won't bother drinking after that. Not spending a penny today!

    I bet half of my friends will be drinking, but I won't. At 17, I don't need to drink to have fun!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,272 ✭✭✭✭Max Power1


    I'll be having a sober paddy's day - im off drink for lent!

    Will be going to see a metallica tribute band gig tonight, after the parade of course :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,810 ✭✭✭ergonomics


    Yep I am. Loads of college work to get done so I can't. I don't really care though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput

  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,137 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost

    Sure would it be a sin not to wet the shamrock on our national drinking day :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Smegball


    Nope


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    No.......AH gettin soft


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,246 ✭✭✭✭Riamfada


    Not a big fan of drinking on Paddy's Day. The weather is fantastic so Im going to go for a healthy walk with the camera up the hills after I visit my gran. Will be seeing mates for some Soberness later ! Life is good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,005 ✭✭✭GalwayKiefer


    I never have a desire to drink on Paddy's day, have worked it for too many years and seen the bad side of it. Staying clear of town altogether to be honest. May have a beer while watching the Simpsons tonight but that'll be the extent of it if I do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,407 ✭✭✭Dartz


    Food poisoning from chicken yesterday.

    So yes.

    ****


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    Yep, not interested in drinking today, as iv said before its just like stephens and NYE, way overhyped, everywhere is jammed, no comfort in any pub. Alot of potential for muppetry going on... Going to watch the parade and then go have lunch, after then not sure! Might walk the prom!?

    :)

    Let's not call it soft; that sound really bad.. how about apathetic?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    Working at moment, interview tomorrow so am staying sober.

    Was out last night and just about scraped by the morning, starting to pick up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I'll be working shortly but don't drink anyway so wouldn't be too bothered about it.

    Who the fúck needs alcohol when they can spend all day lying on their bed, listening to music and watching movies?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    i rarely get drunk anymore.

    Its soooo passé


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,582 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    I have an Essay to do, extremely pi55ed off about it, as I'd likely be on the receiving end of many a drink as one of the few genuine Irish people in town.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭Frank Spencer


    Anyone else have the ad with two bottles of Heineken sliding across the screen showing at the bottom of this thread?

    I wasn't going to drink but now I'm not so sure............


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I'm sober and will be for the rest of the evening.

    I don't really like Paddy's day.
