A non-guide to partying on St. Patrick’s Day for the young adult.
- Get alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.
- Get more alcohol.
- Buy St. Patrick’s Day decorations from the local Dollar Tree and plaster your house with them. [Alternative: Give your neighbor's kid a can of green spray paint and $20 and tell him/her to spray the living crap out of your house. This may require premature consumption of alcohol before asking.]
- Clear your living room (or whichever room has the TV or movie-watching device). And by “clear,” I mean “shove all furniture to the sides of the room for an unobstructed view of the TV or movie-watching device. You don’t want to break anything. (If you’ve already consumed alcohol as per the alternative step #3, you might have already broken some things).
- Put in the movie Groundhog Day because screw St. Patrick’s Day.
- Commence Groundhog Day drinking game: drink a shot whenever Phil acts like an asshole, whenever ”I Got You Babe” plays, whenever someone says “groundhog”, whenever a new day begins, whenever Phil fails to woo Rita, whenever Phil asks a question, whenever Phil tries to kill himself, and whenever you laugh.
- Amend the drinking game: drink whenever the hell you feel like it.
- If you haven’t vomited, cried, broken anything, or passed out by the end of the movie, try doing Gangnam Style in the middle of your room.
- Black out.
- Wake up on [select one: your lawn, your bed, a hospital bed, your neighbor's lawn, a jail cot].
- Smile big. Plan on doing the same thing next year. And maybe invite a friend or two next time.
