So if St Paddy's day is such a big Irish Holiday, why doesn't it involve either eating or boycotting Potatoes?
Looked it up and understand why drinking is a such a big part of St Paddy day. The Catholic Church made it a free drink all the alcohol you want day if you have given up alcohol for lent. What a way to celebrate the introduction of Christianity to Ireland. Good thing it was the Catholics and NOT Baptists! Especially since the Irish like their dancing, even if it is only from the waist down (is that so they can hold their beer?)
