All over the US many cities are gearing for the Saint Patrick’s Day festivities. Numerous cities including New York, Chicago and Savannah host large parades for the holiday that celebrates Irish Heritage. Although there many Irish descendants in the US, you don’t have to be Irish to enjoy the festivities. The color green is associated with the holiday and many cities will dye their waterways green in celebration along with parades. St Patrick used the shamrock to explain the trinity to Irish heathens and has become the symbol of the day.
Along with dying water features green, many bars offer the St. Patty’s revelers green beer. Drinking is commonly associated with the March 17th celebration. According to Wikipedia, St Patrick’s Day is the leading day for alcohol consumption in the United States and is typically one of the busiest days for bars or restaurants during the year, keeping DUI attorney’s busy days afterwards.
Foolishly thinking they have the “luck of the Irish” many of these revelers will drive their cars when the party is over. Police are going to be out in force looking for drunk drivers so having a DUI lawyer's number handy will be wise. Thinking you are okay to drive after drinking is a common mistake made by people who get DUI’s. A holiday marked by excessive drinking puts the police on the lookout for drunken driving that only a DUI attorney can help you with.
