St. Patrick's Day Drink and Food

According to legend, St. Patrick brought the art of distillery to Ireland. This is why drinking is such an important part to celebrating the holiday in America. Also, Irish people are known to be "real drinkers," which is another reason Americans associate drinking with St. Patrick's Day. Americans tend to have "pub crawls" on St. Patrick's day and many bars serve green beer in order to make beer a holiday beverage. St. Patrick's Day beer should be a dark beer since that is the preferred choice for Irish drinkers.



As for food, corned beef and cabbage are the preferred foods to eat on St. Patrick's Day. These are traditional Irish foods and many Americans like to celebrate the holiday by preparing meals that include these two items. Irish stew and Irish soda bread are also popular foods to eat in the U.S..
