My St. Paddy's Epic Pub Crawl

[Black Irish]

This St. Patrick's Day, I am going to step up my game and do a really memorable pub crawl. Instead of just hitting a few pubs in one town, I'm going to turn my pub crawl into a road trip. I'm going to hit 15 pubs across 4 states & Washington D.C. all on 3/17. It's one of those bucket list things I've always wanted to do, and it's good to have goals (especially if there's booze involved). If any of you are going to be around any of these places on St. Patrick's Day this year, PM me and maybe we can meet up. I've got my full itinerary on my website, www.PaddysEpicPubCrawl.com.

So you are going on a 24 hour bender where you will drink and drive through 4 different states?.... all the while liveblogging it to as many people as possible?

That's not a very bright thing to do. lol

I guess I'm going to have to do a live ie blog of my birthday shennanigans then. Each year my buddy (who is the dd) has a theme for the day. Last year was Notre Dame, where I only drank Irish beers and liquors, and my least favorite drink of all-time, the four horseman. This Thursday its SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS! I'm only allowed to drink shots and water. Will I get kicked out of the bar for the fifth year in a row? Find out next Thursday!

My wife is going to be my DD & chaperone. And I can hold my booze. Honestly, though, I'll probably have to switch to half beers round about when I hit Delaware to stay (moderately) sharp. It's more about than the experience than the boozing.

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm going to have four drinks, all in one sitting... Never been attempted before... So hardcore, I know.


(One of the drinks will be water)

 

[Cackalacky]

Good luck brother.

Good. Should be a blast.

I feel bad for your poor wife though. At some point, she will be driving you home from several states away after you have had, at a minimum, 15 drinks. You better buy her a nice "thank you" gift beforehand. lol

I will call it - two states before he starts trying to talk his wife in to a little roadside lovin'.

"C'mon, hunny. No one...**burp**...is gonna see. It'll be awesome...**burp**...you so beautiful. Iz love you very so much."

Two of my best friends are doing something similar. Their trip is for 5 months in an RV and they're covering the whole country I believe, besides the Midwest and North East.

They've shared stories and pics below, and have been in a number of news articles:

This is exactly why I'm sticking to water and juice boxes...

Yeah, cause there is nothing creepy about a grown man sitting there petting his cat drinking from a juice box.

Ok so a kid can do it and its fine, but its weird for an adult? How bout you cut out the ageism you damn fascist.

"pussy",... "petting his pussy"... it make the phrase even stranger... damn rookie.

I also forgot to mention his porcelain doll collection staring at him with their dead, black eyes.

I'm not ageist or fascist. There are LOTS of things that are okay for kids to do, but are frowned upon for adults. For instance, try going up to the urinal in a men's room and pulling your pants and underwear all the way down to your ankles. Okay for a five year old not so okay for a grown man.

It's not???

Excuse me while I go rethink some things...

Wait… this isn't okay to do?

lol this cracked me up.

If all I could drink is shots I would probably be kicked out within two hours...probably an hour and a half honestly.

No Lie!!! I walked into my work bathroom today and there was an old man doing exactly this!! I damn near laughed out loud. So, moral of the story...5 year olds and senior citizens just don't give a fuck! haha

 

[loomis41973]

Sounds like too much driving and not enough drinking.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

By the third pub you will be making pit stops at every White Castle you see along the way.

 

[ACamp1900]

Am I the only one who prefers drinking at home over going out?? It's safer, everyone can drink, and there is none of the meat market bs that sometimes comes along with the bar scene.

Nah same here. Even as at college I'd rather just chill with a group of anywhere from 4-12 friends and just drink rolling rock or yeungling. But fuck that, first St. Paddys day as a 21 year old I'll be hitting up a pub crawl in Center City and then some.

Good luck with that man, sounds like a helluva time! Would definitely meet up with you but not anywhere near those states!

I'm not letting the tourists and amateurs take St. Patrick's Day away from me. Those green beer drinking crowds don't deter me. I'm also not going to get as drunk as all that. I've got an hour plus ride between cities, so I'll have time to sober up. Slow and steady wins the race.

A bunch of mindless lemmings "drinking" in the insipid view, (mis)direction, manipulation and ramblings of Mad Men.

Fuck Green Beer.

Ummm, thanks? I promise to use the best grammar that I can muster, for your sake.

 

[ACamp1900]

Never had green beer, but see nothing wrong with it... YOLO

Did I really say/ramble/mutter/slur that?

I long ago ceded St. Patrick's Day to the amateurs. I'm a professional Mick, 24/7 365. My Irish grandparents viewed it as just another reason to attend Mass. No hoopla, no drinking to excess, No muss, no fuss. Fortunately they weren't around to see Patrick denoted to minor sainthood.

The first year I lived in the Twin Cities I made dinner for a lady friend and a friend (another Irishman) and his lady friend. We then headed to an area in St. Paul known for its Irish bars. We got what I considered an early start – 9 PM. 9 AM would have been better.

The lines waiting to get into THE bars were a block long and involved 3 feet of snow and temperatures in the single digits. We ended up in a place called Pedro's. The astro turf was beer soaked and there were a couple of drunks passed out on the floor. I left quickly since I feared being on the freeway with these yahoos at closing time.

My habit for many years has been to take my red headed son to a local, family owned Irish restaurant for dinner. About the time he turned 21 the place got a liquor license (after 45 years) so we can each have a Guinness.

I lead a boring life. Grammar is just about all I gots now ...

Right now I'm heavily involved in re-seasoning all my cast iron pots, pans and griddles.

I understand your frustration. I guess I'm still stubborn & foolish enough to tilt at the windmills. And the best way to beat the long lines is to pretend to be a health inspector. Like my father told me, a clipboard and a safety vest will open lots of doors for you.
