Is it not an official holiday in the states? Thats surprising seeing as how 12% of the US population claim Irish ancestors.

But not to worry people, I'll probably drink enough that day to cover everyone :P

Most people use it as an excuse to get ridiculously drunk and make fools of themselves.

.... we always eat corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread and of course green beer!

This about sums it up:
Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by non-Irish people, as well (usually in Australia, North America, and Ireland). Hence the phrase, "Everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick's Day." Celebrations are generally themed around the color green and all things Irish; both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green or orange, eating Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink (usually Guinness), and attending parades.
