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.

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

Was out on Saturday though..

Me.

tfitzgerald · 18-03-2013 10:14AM

I didn't wet the shamrock either

blacklilly · 18-03-2013 10:16AM

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 · 18-03-2013 10:18AM

No drink for me either

kevthegaff · 18-03-2013 10:18AM

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

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.

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 · 18-03-2013 10:22AM

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. · 18-03-2013 10:26AM

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 · 18-03-2013 11:46AM

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 · 18-03-2013 11:52AM

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 · 18-03-2013 12:15PM

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

MadYaker · 18-03-2013 12:20PM

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 · 18-03-2013 12:25PM

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 · 18-03-2013 12:39PM

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 · 18-03-2013 12:43PM

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!

number66 · 18-03-2013 12:51PM

Watching the parade was it. not a drop taken. About 3am I got a reminder why getting plastered is stupid, a really loud drunken argument broke out in the apartment next door ( it's such fun listening to drunken people shout abuse at each other). also seems someone took a dislike to the mirror on my car. If half as much effort went into having fun instead of getting drunk you would not recognize this country.

KKkitty · 18-03-2013 12:53PM

Had a bottle of wine in the fridge but couldn't be bothered drinking it.

mud · 18-03-2013 01:23PM

No booze for me either. I *may* have celebrated the smoking wearing of the green last night though :P

Fixer Upper · 18-03-2013 01:29PM

Overheard this guy on the phone just after the parade....

"Ya, I'm eatin a sausage roll to give me soakage, ya know what I mean like?"

yep - you're gonna be pretty later!:D

Logical_Bear · 18-03-2013 01:34PM

on medication so cant drink for the next 7 months approx.

thebaz · 18-03-2013 01:35PM

thebaz - supposedly, sadly , cant drink forever --- sob, sob, sob

Ardennes1944 · 18-03-2013 01:42PM

Up for work at 5am the last 3mornings so no drink for me. Not that I would anyway, it's a bad day to go out drinking, far too messy

Ishmael · 18-03-2013 02:12PM

Watched the parade on telly with some friends, and went to a not so packed bar just off Dame street in Dublin and engaged in some dancing with tourists for a few hours. Think i only had 2 drinks the entire day and was probably the best craic i have had on Paddy's day in years.

admiralofthefleet · 18-03-2013 02:16PM

me and the wife went to the local parade about 1 (the parade started at 3 but we were thirsty) then we had dinner in the pub and stayed there ti about 2 in the morning.
feeling very delicate at the moment

Product of the celtic tiger I think.

So I had some drinks at home but didn't get drunk - do I get to join this club ?
