More Than a Day?

Saw this sign the other day. Someone (a certain beer) is sure trying to get the most out of this Holy Day holiday. March 13 - 18. If I were one of the other Saints I think I would protest.




Then this came from the Policy Impact Newsletter of the International Institute for Alcohol Awareness...

Alexandria, VA—Building on the success they’ve had in encouraging young college students to binge drink during spring break and other holidays, beer producers Diageo’s Guinness and Anheuser-Busch have joined forces with a petition drive to encourage Congress to make St. Patrick’s Day a National Holiday under the guise of promoting Irish Heritage.

I guess that's what "Real Irish" means in the banner above. Now if I were Irish I would probably protest the stereotype being encouraged by the beer companies.
