St. Patrick's Day has something to do with religion, but you're gonna party on March 17th. You know it, we know it, St. Patrick himself knows it. Unfortunately, countless amateurs make countless mistakes on this holiday. Do yourself a favor and read on to prevent yourself from screwing up like one of them.
1. Pace Yourself
This is a marathon, not a sprint. You're not Usain Bolt and there's no gold medal to win (unless you think a Sharpie'd penis on your face is a reward). This is St. Patrick's DAY, not St. Patrick's Take-As-Many-Shots-of-Irish-Whiskey-As-Humanly-Possible HOUR.

2. Stay On The Sidewalk At The Parade
True, you might be wearing a green onesie with a cape (superhero alias: "Lieutenant Lager"), but let's keep our s*** together. It might seem fun to charge at the shamrock-covered floats while air-spanking a little person dressed as a leprechaun. It is not.
3. If You're Not Irish, Don't Pretend You Are
It's inevitable. You'll be tempted to do an Irish jig and speak with an Irish accent so bad that you belong in the next Guy Ritchie flick. Don't. No, we mean it. Please. It's bad enough the meaning of St. Patrick's Day has been completely mutilated--no Irish person wants to see dumb stereotypes reinforced by your attempt to Riverdance.
