Anyone stay out late last night for Paddys? Was funny watching the pub slowly empty from about 10pm last night...everyones excuse being "its a school night and all,cant be out drinkin all night"!! Im 28!! Are we all going sensible in our auld age haha...
 
Proper order I say. Irish society is far too tolerant of binge drinking. Just look at what happened in Finglas yesterday. Not to mention the number of working days lost as a result of hangovers.

I haven't been in the city centre on Paddy's day in about 4 years, but the last time I was, I've never seen anything like it - people literally falling around the streets drunk at 6pm.

Agree with that, I was in Temple bar for Paddys day about four years ago and never again! - people (old and young) stumbling around getting sick everywhere - god it was awful, was stuck in a god awful pub as well - crammed, drink spilling everywhere. Its a shame because it is a great day for the country, the parade and sky fest/street theatre etc are really brilliant and I reckon Monday or a work day is the best day to have paddys day to eliminate all of the messing with drink because it's the only downside to the day.

Most year's Paddys night is a "school night". 18th March, unless it's a weekend is a normal working day.

Havn't been out for Paddys day in years either. Makes me ashamed to be irish when you see people falling down drunk at 3 o clock in the day.

I agree. The last Paddys day I went out was at 3.00 and was home at 7.00. And that was about 4 or 5 years ago. Must be getting old! :D

Ya I'm 37 and I believe that has something to do about it. I do remember being out all day in my early 20's to early 30's and not noticing so much and no I wasn't falling down drunk.

I suppose you become less tolerant as you get older.
