St. Patrick’s Day, the day everyone is a little Irish. Did you know that even St. Patrick wasn’t Irish. Rumor has it he was actually Welsh! Believe it or not St. Paddy’s Day used to be a quiet holiday because it falls during lent but in the late 1960’s the law was changed in Ireland and pubs were allowed to stay open. Today, it is very much associated with having a good time with friends. During St. Patrick’s Day, the consumption of Guinness almost triples - from 5.5 million pints on a regular day to 13 million pints. That’s 150 pints per second! Sláinte!
