St. Patty's Day is nigh, and we here in Los Angeles aren't going to let cities with actual Irish communities have all the fun (suck it, Boston, Philly, Dublin, etc). Since no one wants to encourage negative stereotypes of Ireland like extreme religious devotion or massive bricks of dense, unreadable literature, you might as well start preparing your liver for Saturday's embrace of the positive Irish stereotype.  Grab a hold of your Guinness and shillelagh, and read our list of what to do in L.A. for the holiest of holidays.

Nobody likes rules, especially on one of the biggest drinking holidays of the year. We get that, and rest assured: we're not here to take your green beer away. But despite the fact that St. Patty's falling on a Saturday is basically the universe's way of telling you that you will be vomiting in the next 36 hours, there's still a line between genial public intoxication and learning how to live the rest of your life without arms because you thought it might be funny to try to high-five a gorilla at the zoo.

Although you didn't think it could be possible, make the day even more exciting with these off-the-Ireland-map fun drinks that are sure to get your BAC up to the appropriate Irish level. Oh, and enjoy the Irish Limerick that accompanies each -- you're welcome. More»

But St. Patrick's day makes for the best parade of the year (except when the Giants win the Superbowl, of course).  It's paRAGE season everyone, and here's a list of the best St. Patty's Day parades this year.
