I love the Irish.
I love the Mexicans.
Both gave me the drinks and holidays I love.
I don't know what to drink on Juneteenth but I'm gonna try.


So the wife and I are taking a Hill Country wine/spirits tour. So far today we have done 3 wine tastings and two distillery tastings. Purchased a bottle from each place. Back at the hotel cooling off by the pool drinking a cactus based jalepeno margarita. After dinner, likely a beer flight and briNg home a growler

Fredericksburg? I picked up some Fredericksburg peaches today, they're delicious.


There, Kerrville, and Comfort. F-burg is way too insane today!
should have just gone to Real Ale in Blanco

The wife wanted to try Fat Ass Winery so we went through F-burg. I tried to find a parking spot to go into Elk Store but after 3 trips around the block and side streets, we said screw it and Went to Kerrville Hills Winery.

Instagramming yourself doing which of these things would probably result in you getting fired immediately.

Drinking Irish Whiskey on St Patrick's day
Drinking Margaritas on Cinco de Mayo
Drinking a Forty on Juneteenth

Patrick comes from the Latin word Patreous which means ONE IN BONDAGE or a slave. The original St Patrick took people from Turkey by luring them with Turkish figs. Once in Ireland he made them kill all of the snakes off. That's why there are no snakes in Ireland and they have the densest supply of Turkish figs of any country in the world.
May 5th was the day in Mexico that jumping beans emerged from the ground every 17 years. They used captives from America Samoa to gather the jumping beans for tourist who would come in from Haiti. Well, eventually it became a custom to jump up and down like the jumping beans and then this morphed into drinking all day every May 5th and not just once every 17 years.
So you are combining these two customs which are both examples of social injustice.
It's 2020 and these both need to end.

Edit: Sorry. Enjoy your day! (:

IDK what Turks have to do with Irish history, but as someone of both partial Irish and Turkish descent I'm cool with it haha.

I know your joking, but I wouldn't know a Turkish holiday if it came up to me and bit me lol... the only ethnic holiday from a place I have ancestry from that I know of is St. Patrick's Day, and apparently it is much different in America than it is in Ireland.
