I'm not going to drink today. When I tell people this they give me a quizzical look. It's the one day out of the year, well besides New Years, that a person can get blotto without shame. I just don't think these implied drinking days are as benign as we'd like them to be. There are jokes about alcoholism and how this is the one day that it's ok to be such, or as one poster for Guiness claims the rest of the year is just practice for today's obligitory drinking binge... well, Guiness didn't say that exactly. I might be paraphrasing a little.
