St. Patrick’s Day is Monday, which means a lot of us will be celebrating this weekend instead. All stocked up on Pedialyte?
76% of Americans say they’ll celebrate St. Paddy’s Day in one way or another this weekend. 88% of people under 35 said yes. Here are the Top Five ways we plan to celebrate:
1. 48% will wear green. Women are more likely to do it, 53% compared to 44% of men.
2. 28% will hit the bars. 32% of men and 24% of women. So it might be a sausage party . . . or we guess Irish people say “bangers.”
3. 26% will eat Irish food, like corned beef or shepherd’s pie. Does a Shamrock Shake count?
4. 23% will have a festive boozy beverage, like green beer or Guinness.
5. 22% plan to cook Irish food.
19% also plan to watch a St. Paddy’s themed movie or TV show.
