People in Britain obviously embrace it (probably because it’s just another excuse to drink) but what’s the deal with it in the actual country of origin, out of interest?

It’s a very special day....its a bank holiday for starters, , people dress in green, wear shamrock or badges, and there are parades in many cities and towns . Dublin has the largest parade and many landmarks are lit up in green......its a huge day in Ireland ..its not all about getting legless either but more of a family day where families have a nice meal then attend the parades

I’m not. Politicised millennial trends are nothing to do with public holidays and drinking culture.

St Pats Day is quite big in the States too. When I worked out there, there was a huge parade,green beer and lots of drinking.

You’d think St Paddy’s day would be a big deal in Liverpool as well considering how many Scousers have substantial Irish heritage but I don’t think there’s anywhere in the U.K. (not even L’pool) where’s it’s that much different from any other happy hour/weekend-vibey day outside of a few green hats and more people ending up in A & E.

People just celebrate it to get drunk ...let's be honest. Obviously this doesn't go for everyone though lol .
Out of all of them S.t Patrick is the one we tend to hear more of a fuss about. |

I suppose but like Cherie’s said the reality of St Paddy’s stuff is much different in Ireland, probably because it’s an actual holiday for them in the first place. Not just an excuse to get legless.

I vaguely remember someone I know going to Cork to see someone over St Paddy’s period. That’s an experience that sounded quite intense in its own non-plastered right.
