Saint Patrick's day isn't a legal holiday. What exactly would you ban? Drinking on Saint Patrick's day? Celebrating the feast of one particular saint because of the way some people act?

How would you go about banning it without facing accusations of being anti-Irish? You seem serious about it, so please explain.
Maybe we should let the victims of all those drunk driving accidents explain it. Oh wait, that's right they can't explain anything because they're dead just like even more will be killed this Sunday.

As for being serious on an internet forum that's all relative. I'd be happy if bars were just prevented from advertizing it. I think if it weren't for the hype the body count would be much lower. Ditto with New Years celebration (the number one killer social event).
