Amateur Night

Saint Patrick’s Day, like New Year’s Eve, is often called amateur night. On this night people who don’t have drinking problems—and those who do—tend to drink too much. There are more DWI’s and more fights and more screaming at boyfriends and tomorrow I imagine that there will be more waking up with headaches, scraped knees and yes, with strangers.

Aren’t you glad you don’t drink?

We live one block from an Irish bar, and our street was lined with cars last night. As I pulled away to go to a meeting, I was thinking how happy I was that I wasn't at the bar with hundreds of intoxicated people.
