When I would go out and celebrate St. Paddy's Day at the bar, it would always almost ruin my night to see people wearing green sequins, giant green hats, crazy clover glasses, and funny Irish drinking t-shirts. I like to have as much fun as anyone else, but seeing the way that (mostly) non-Irish people celebrate the day always struck a note of discord in me.
Most of my dissatisfaction with the way people dress and act on St. Patty's Day stemmed from the fact that I am actually very Irish. I appreciate my Irish heritage deeply and when I see non-Irish acting out in such a crazed way as they do on a holiday reserved for honoring my traditions, I feel a bit disrespected. Not wearing funny Irish drinking t-shirts was my little way of protesting against that disrespect.
One of my friends managed to get me drunk enough before we headed to the bar last year to put on one of his funny Irish drinking t-shirts. Even though I was totally smashed before we ever set foot out of the door, I was already determined that this whole t-shirt business was a terrible idea.
Much to my chagrin, wearing funny Irish drinking t-shirts on St. Patty's Day was really, really fun. Releasing all of those inhibitions and letting myself get really immersed in that feeling of joyous revelry. People saw me in that funny t-shirt, and bought me a green beer without a single word of hello. For one night, it didn't matter where you were from...everyone was Irish and kissed by luck.
Coming from the viewpoint of someone who has never approved of crazy costumes and acting silly just for the sake of showing everyone around you how enthusiastic you are, I have to admit that celebrating Saint Patrick's Day with funny Irish drinking t-shirts makes everything so much better and SO much drunker! If you haven't found your green yet, I suggest you jump on the Internet and start looking now!
