Hilarious photos capture St Patrick's Day revelry

October 2024 ยท 3 minute read

St Patrick's Day has rolled around again for another year.

And for many, that means green costumes, group revelry and copious amounts of alcohol.

One image here, jokingly captioned 'Irish Yoga', shows three women supposedly passed out in an array of acrobatic poses, the floor around them strewn with empty bottles. 

Another, snapped in the Irish town of Sligo, presents a St Patrick's Day parade that has ground to a halt after the 'breakdown assistance float' itself broke down - irony at its finest.

Over in the US, where St Patrick's Day is hugely popular all over the country, an image shows a frankly astonishing number of beer kegs being delivered to a single bar in Minneapolis ahead of the celebrations.

As for the aftermath, one sign outside an Irish business said it all with the notice: 'CLOSED TODAY LADS. I'm in bits from last night. Not able. Open tomorrow, Mick.'
