5 Reminders As To Why You Aren’t Invincible on St. Patrick’s Day

1.    You will…puke
Yes, I know I know this holiday is pretty much only a thing because you get to drink a crazy amount and no one will judge you. The situation at hand is that people think that because it is National-Drink-Your-Brains-Out-Day they have developed some wacky super power that allows them to have a ridiculously higher tolerance than they do any other day of the year. Listen, you couldn’t drink a handle of Cpt. Morgan’s yesterday, so don’t think you can today.

 I know I sound like a wet blanket and NO I’m not a party pooper but you will ruin the shit show if you get sick by 1 in the afternoon! Pace yourself that way you can get sick at 1 in the morning instead. Not solid advice but hey, its St. Patty’s Day.

2.    You will make an ass out of yourself in front of your crush
There is a good chance that where ever you start off or end up you will be drunk upon arrival. Your eyes lock with your crush and you go in for the kill. Just kidding, you are too much of a pansy for that, so you begin your passive aggressive journey to get their attention. Every time you think about approaching them you realize you are too drunk to think of anything clever to say, so you turn into an even more drunk nervous freak and make a real jerk out of yourself. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants to deal with a sloppy mess.

3.    You will blow through your cash
Here comes the good old “completely ignore how much you think you have in your account and just keep using your card that probably only has $120 on it” strategy. I know when I do this (which happens way to often) I simply deal with this problem by not looking at my bank statements and completely avoiding using my card until my next pay check. 

AKA don’t let that be you because that’s beyond stupid. The drunker you get the easier it gets to blow through your wallet and buy another beer. The drunker you get the easier it gets to convince yourself you need a vodka redbull. But when you wake up hung over and go to use your card for Dunkin Donuts, well, you know where I’m going with this.

4.    You’re suddenly a hard-o
With the liquor flowing and the energy high in the air it isn’t too hard to go with the flow or…flip your lid in 2 seconds flat. That guy that just smiled at your girl is suddenly a threat, and that other guy that cut you in line for a beer is on your shit list. You would normally let either of these things go, but not on the night of St. Patrick’s Day! You charge full force making a real jerk out of yourself in front of the whole bar. Next thing you know the guard throws your obnoxious ass out of the bar and on the cold dirty street. Your friends won’t answer and you have no money for a cab? Happy Holidays.


5.    Drunk Driving

I want to switch gears for a quick second to something a bit more serious. I know it sounds like a broken record when I say drinking and driving isn’t cool. It isn’t just any casual night where you go out and have three drinks and sober up a bit, like this day exists so you can black out. You have an entire year to pick a friend that is going to be responsible, so figure it out! From another angle, keep in mind the cops are everywhere. If you value your life, your friends lives, the other drivers on the roads lives or your license you will think twice about getting behind the wheel all messed up. OR you can stop being a cheap ass and get a cab, that is if you haven’t blown all of your money on beers.
