St. Patrick's Day

It's almost here! St Patrick's Day is our favorite holiday, and not just because it's soaked in booze. Well okay, it's a lot about that, but there is more, we swear.

One of my co-workers thought it'd be funny to make his own 'shamrock shake' being that St. Patrick's Day is on Sunday. He wouldn't tell me what was in it until I took a drink. Although nobody was brave enough to actually try it, I decided to give it a try. What's the worst that could happen?

Leprechauns, the faires of Irish folklore (no disrespect) are popular symbols this time of year. With St. Patrick's Day on the horizon, the little men with their hidden coins, pots of gold and ginger muttonchops are running rampant through the streets spreading their magical mischief...

The Irish car bomb (a shot of Irish whiskey and Irish cream dropped into a pint of Guinness) is a standard St. Patrick's Day cocktail, though its origins aren't commonly known.

  Saint Patrick's Day, also known as Feast of Saint Patrick, was officially established in Ireland in the 17th century as a day of feast.  The holiday eventually made its way across the ocean to be celebrated in the U.S.  Wearing green, eating corned beef and cabbage, and of course drinking alcohol is the standard way for Americans to celebrate this holiday.  However, many folks skip the feasting

Cities like Chicago dye their rivers green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Dallas, however, isn’t trying to start their own green tradition, at least not intentionally. A waterway just outside of the Medical City Dallas Hospital started to fill with a mysterious green goo last Wednesday.

McDonald's Shamrock Shake usually comes once a year around St. Patrick's Day, but as the holiday passes, so does the elusive tasty beverage. Now you don't have to be in March (or Irish) to enjoy one year round.

As we approach St. Patrick’s Day, it’s a good time to think about how luck affects our lives.

Everyone knows that St. Patrick’s Day is the one day out of the year when we’re all Irish. And, apparently that translates into wearing anything green and silly we can get our hands on and having as much to drink as we can carry at one time. But, there’s another strange tradition that has developed in celebration of this day. We can’t explain it. Are Irish people really that into unnaturally green

There are few holidays that create more excitement and festiveness than St. Patrick’s Day. All over the country, people crowd the local pub in green clothes where they guzzle a ton of green beer, only to puke it back out in a green mess and wake up the next day in a green haze.   Of course, just like the crazy uncle in your family who thinks he’s Santa Claus in July, some people can take a good th
