    St. Patrick's Day Survival Guide

    It's that time a year where we can get SH*T-FACED in the name of St. Paddy's day! I'm not an alcoholic, I am festive AF.

    Eat, you fool! Carbs are your friend!

    Eat! Grab some $1 sandwiches from fast-food joints. Don't do this day on an empty stomach unless you have a death wish!

    Have Green To Wear

    Show some spirit! Green shirt, green tie, etc! Don't be that douche that needs to dye their whole body green or that jack wagon that speak in a stereotypical Irish accent.

    Stick to traditional Irish Drinks. Not cheap beer with green color dye!

    I get the appeal, but your are just drinking cheap beer with a shit load of green dye? If you wanna get shit-faced, do it right! Spend the extra buck or two. It's a holiday!

    Charge Your Phone

    Yeah! Charge your phone. Your phone battery will be dying between the 10 Instagram posts per hour and the constant drunk calling.

    Hold off as long as you can on shots

    Shot are fun, but don't begin like at 10 a.m. You have the whole day to celebrate. Don't knock yourself out of commission early. Unless you can handle it. Then in that case, take my shot!

    Get a D.D.

    If you are drunk, this may mean get Dunkin Donuts. I am talking about a designated driver. Luckily, there is Uber or Lyft. Before these wonderful services, my friends and i had to pull straws each year to see who is gonna be the D.D.

    Just have your license, registration and insurance ready!

    You are gonna see check points. Just be polite, have your information ready, and you will be through in no time.

    McDonald's Shamrock Shake will be back..I think!

    On a side note, this may be back!It's green dye, but it's sugary!
