    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.

    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 :)

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    I've had a stunningly sober weekend


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,428 ✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,017 ✭✭✭SharpshooterTom


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭heartseeker


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,131 ✭✭✭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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,167 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 225 ✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 142 ✭✭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 :p

    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.

    Great waking up with a clear head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,245 ✭✭✭✭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.

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