It’s that time of year again when you drink during the day, sometimes for days on end. No, it’s not another random Tuesday—it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Get ready to rock with these St. Patty’s festivities, including an epic pub crawl that aims to break the Guinness World Record. Because it’s not a real world record unless there’s beer involved.
