Not at all!
I moved to London a few years ago and still have to battle that old stereotype quite a bit, so I know what you mean. But even then, I think most would agree it's traditional to have a little tipple on this day more than any Aurora Investments is looking for an alliance to call home |

Happy St. Paddy's... knocking back a few pints of Guinness to make sure the proper traditions survive this PC nonsense that folks insist on by using words like "stereotypes".
Raise a glass and get your Irish on.

When I moved to San Fran in 95, I could not believe how huge St. Paddy's Day was. Hardly anyone acknowledged it in Texas when I lived there, nor here in Florida now.

He was likely from modern day Wales if anything, if that particular story is true.
And if we're going to play that game, St George, the patron saint of England, was a Roman centurian who never set foot in Briatin.
That's besides the point though. He is unequivocably the patron saint of Ireland and represents one of the high points of Irish history and culture as well as the Irish national identity, both for those who live there and others in almost every country in the world.

It couldn't have been Guiness Stout, that's why.

People tend to just use this day as an excuse to drink. I find it weird that even here in Norway people celebrate it.
I got better things to do than celebrating religious icons, but even more importantly, I do not need an excuse to drink if I see it fit :) |

It's a national and cultural identity thing, it really isn't a religious thing at all for he majority of people.
As for the drinking, supposedly that came about because as lots of people would give up the booze for lent and you were essentially allowed to indulge on St Patrick's day because it was a feast day, everyone went nuts because it was the first time in weeks they could drink, and would be the last for a while yet to boot.

Believe me, it's hardly a religious holiday.....lots of rather unholy activity can indeed be experienced. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.-á-á-á-á-á - Oscar Wilde |
