If your Christian name is the name of a saint, you’re expected to do some small observance in honour of the saint on their feast day.

Luckily for me, St. Patrick was the patron saint of Vomiting and General Douchebaggery.

Over the years, I've more than done my part to honor the esteemed gentleman for whom we were both named.

It got to the point where I began to wish my folks had named me Alvin or something. 

Then I figured out that it wasn't really a requirement that I wipe out the bar's entire stock of Bushmills in a sitting.
