Since St. Patrick's Day is today, it's only appropriate to highlight the most memorable drunk scenes in film — the good, the bad, and the laugh-out-loud funny. In honor of the beer-filled holiday, we're taking a look at unforgettable drunk moments from iconic movie parties, awkward hookup scenes, and more. From John Belushi chugging Jack Daniel's in Animal House to Renée Zellweger singing "All by Myself" in Bridget Jones's Diary, take a look at the best, most memorable drunk moments in movies.
It's St. Patrick's Day, and we can't help but feel the Irish love. We're all about green beer, shamrocks, and leprechauns, but there's a lot more to Irish tradition than the commercialized side of the holiday — especially when it comes to Irish wedding traditions. You don't have to be an Irish bride-to-be to appreciate these sentimental Irish and Celtic traditions, which have inspired some of our most well-known big phrases like "tying the knot" and "honeymoon." See how you can add a little luck o' the Irish to your wedding now!
Every politician needs some luck of the Irish sometimes, and that often comes in the form of beer. While enjoying a basketball game or conducting international diplomacy, there's nothing like beer to loosen up a politico. Plus, cheers-ing your constituents on the campaign trail is a classic move to show you're a man or woman of the people. St. Paddy's Day, which falls on Sunday, calls for some suds. So to get you in the spirit, check out politicians like President Barack Obama, who drank Guinness in Ireland with Michelle, or President George W. Bush, who threw back a nonalcoholic version in Germany, enjoying some beer.
St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, and the Irish holiday just wouldn't be the same without a pint of Guinness in hand. You may have mastered the stout's double pour, but what do you know about the history of this legendary beer brand? Take the quiz to find out!
St. Patrick's Day is this weekend! While you're getting your green on, I thought I'd take the opportunity to call out a few movies that I love, which happen to all be set in Ireland. The beautiful backdrop can be romantic, perilous, good for comedy or drama — in any case, take a look at the films that have the luck of the Irish.
No, there are no insects involved in grasshopper pie. We're not sure why this mint-chocolate pie obtained the name it did, but we do know that these mint-green miniature pies are a festive way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The mason jars make it easy to transport the pie; simply screw on the tops and garnish the pies with whipped cream when you're ready to serve.
Crush Oreo cookies to create the chocolate pie crust, and top each jar with a hefty scoop of minty, marshmallowy filling. Garnish the mason jars with a tall peak of whipped cream, a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips, and a mint leaf.
Recipes for green food, whiskey-infused treats, indulgent potato dishes, and other Irish delights abound, but — believe it or not — I'm most partial to an Irish ingredient with humble, hearty origins: oats. So when we received a shipment of three varieties of the Irish grain, my eyes lit up and my stomach immediately began to grumble. A little simmering and stirring later, I sat down to a hearty bowl of each seasoned with naught but a pinch of salt and a pat of butter to let the true texture and flavor of each variety shine.
