Saint Patty's Day or Holidays: Part 1

Q: My Saint Patty's Day pub of choice has excellent appetizers. Should I skip them or just order light beer?
A: Neither! By the end of the evening you will have "lost" any calories you take in.

Let's face it, everyone is Irish on Saint Patty's Day. So rejoice, put on your favorite green shirt (or your only green shirt) and head down to your local Irish pub. Order your first beer, don't panic. It may be green. Order the mozzarella sticks, the onion rings, the chicken wings, the friend zucchini, the potato skins, whatever they've got. Then order the next 20 or so beers. The fact is that after several hours of hard drinking (culturally sanctioned of course) you are going to be huddled over the toilet, returning everything you just ate (and all of the calories). The worst thing you could do is regret not having eaten something delicious. Don't live with regret. Carpe Diem!

Pros: This is all of the perks of bulimia without the nasty stereotype.

Cons: Don't ever return a Guinness to the bar. I saw a man do that once. They made him bleed green.

Really? Can I trust her?
