Me!

Nope, it was a beautiful warm day and I worked in the yard and worked on my tan. Don't drink much, it sucks the life out of your skin and liver.

I don't observe St. Patrick's day ~

Only holidays I observe is 4th of July, Veterans day, The Sabbath and New Moon Days...Oh, and birthdays!

Screwdrivers in kids' pockets and screwdrivers in friends' faces, I think you have some serious Freudian issues.

I didn't have one drink. I was working the night before so I didn't wake up untill abput 2.30 pm Sunday. Took my dogs out for a run, back in time to watch the club football final. Cooked as bit of a late dinner for myself and the brother, Then setteled down to watch sports for the evening.

ikeano29

Me neither but seen to many drunks tonight and people getting sick and broken glass, a few fights, young ones crying, streets smelling of urine but I'm sure they all had a good night

Sarky

I had a couple of beers, because it was a nice day. I phoned my father, because it was his birthday. Then I completely forgot about it and treated like any other Sunday.

beks101

I've had a stunningly sober weekend

MrKingsley

Stayed in bed til 6 this afternoon and then was working from 7 til and hour ago. Can safely say the it was one of my better St Patricks Days.

I look forward to not feeling like a steaming bag of crap tomorrow

SharpshooterTom

I didn't because I'm boring bastard and don't drink anyway.

heartseeker

All the publicans for starters....too busy raking it in, counting the profits, and waiting for Arthurs Day to come around !!

Azure_sky

I had one pint. I didn't feel like drinking much so what's the point in drinking just because everyone else is?

The chances are a lot of publicans did have a drink or 7 today. Alcoholism tends to run in that circle.

Also, not all publicans are complete bastards.

Its nearly 05:30 and I'm just in from a night on the door, no gargle here.

I'd say it was "fun".

Was chatting to one of the on call docs that stays here, and he said A&E was bedlam.

efb

me didnt go out, paid next weekend.

Fr_Dougal

No booze, about to hop into the shower and then off to work I go.

SicklySweet

My first sober Patrick's Day also
I gave up alcohol only recently, and was a little panicky about it and made some plans to maybe have one or two, but glad i resisted.

Mick ah

Didn't drink. Was just too exhausted after a week of work and college. Just had a quiet night it.

I'm glad too, need to get stuff done today when I'm finished here on boards

oldyouth

I had intended having the usual 'reasonable amount' of weekend drinks yesterday but I had the scuts and couldn't face it. Just thought I'd share that.

Grand Moff Tarkin

Great waking up with a clear head.

CiaranMcDCFC

Was driving from Donegal to Dublin and in work today so another dry St Patrick's days for me. Too many drunken idiots in pubs on Patrick's day to get any enjoyment out of going for a pint anyway.

bnt

No drink here either - work, then relaxing with the TV & laptop. Drinking in a crowd is simply not my idea of fun - and, these days, neither is getting drunk.

Ella

I didn't drink, more important things to be doing.

kneemos

Is getting totally blotto on Paddy's day a relativity recent thing or was it always the case?

ShadowHearth

I was sober too.

I dropped off misses to the pub around 16:00 and had a whole evening to my self with SC2 MLG finals and fast food!

Up until the 1950's the pubs were closed like Good Friday.

Publicans and taximen and the tourist chiefs were giving out that visitors couldn't get a drink and so it changed.

helimachoptor

Me neither, babysatu niece so my bro and his GF could go out.... Super Uncle!

Was out on Saturday though..

Sunnyisland

Me.

tfitzgerald

I didn't wet the shamrock either

blacklilly

I had 3 drinks, then went outside the pub to make a call and a wave of clarity came over me...people stumbling all over the place and the smell of fresh vomit, I decided to go home, lovely fresh head this morning!

Lisha

No drink for me either

kevthegaff

had a couple and went off to bed, had to milk this morning:(

I hate these sweeping generalisations.

Now, I spent the day raking it in waiting for for Easter Sunday to come around. Then I went on the piss.

I am a complete bastard.

washiskin

I normally have 1 or 2 but I just didn't bother this year at all. I thought about heading to the local after getting home from Dublin but - meh. Settled for Braveheart, a chocolate kimberley & a mug o'tae.

I remember the pubs being closed when I was a kid - the only place that had a bar open was the Dog Show in the RDS - it used to be wedged.

kaylen.

I didn't either Brought the young lad to the local parade and then tried for about an hour an a half to get a seat in the decent pubs around my area for some food with complete failure.We couldn't move in the 3 pubs we tried at about half 2 in the day.
So home we went...

Daffodil.d

I had a few Friday butI haven't drank on Saint Patrick's day for a few years now. Like a previous poster said, I was in a pub one year and saw kids running wild and being filled up with crisps and lemonade just so their parents can get drunk. And the whole town just gets messy.it's just not fun. And I am not anti drink a few years ago I would have been in the thick of it. I have kids now and dont think it's a good environment for them.

ian87

My first year in about 6 years where I wasn't working st patricks day. So I enjoyed it. Watched the parade, then home for the hurling, dropped herself out, dinner, tv, collected her. After seeing the messiness dropping and collecting her and hearing about the drama of her night I was one glad little boy I didn't go out..

ruthloss

Weather kept us all stuck in the house. Watched movie, 'Lincoln'. :mad:

MadYaker

I have 2 exams this week so it was my first sober paddy's day. A bit depressing to be honest, I got multiple phone calls from people asking me was I going out. I would always avoid clubs and bars on paddy's day because town in general is disgusting on nights like that but there's always a good house party to go to. Although not being hungover today is nice.

nikpmup

Stayed in glued to the couch - I'm 7 weeks pregnant and ironically have felt like I've the world's worst hangover for the last week
My lovely boyfriend stayed on the dry in solidarity - a very boring Paddy's day in nikpmup towers!

michellie

I got drunk.

Our friends are home for a few weeks from australia, they went last year so we all went out. Great night but I feel awful today

MurdyWurdy

No drunk here, am up the duff so not allowed. Probably wouldn't have drunk anyway, I'm not a big fan of Paddy's day. I met friends for lunch and had a nice day at home - was asleep by 9pm!
