No matter which way you slice it, drinking tends to be a mindless activity. Sure, there once a day in which the bar debate encouraged lively discussions, but that time has long passed (Google solves pretty much everything in an instant). Chances are the majority of your nights out are…
The time to celebrate is almost here. The day of Saint Patrick is coming up in just over a week. In America it’s the one day of the year in which everyone wants to have a good time — and pretend to be Irish for the day. While most South…
