6-5 right: You’re Irish! St. Patrick’s Day is your favorite day of the year. Although you love to celebrate this holiday full force, you should be smart enough to know to not drink and drive. Always remember to find a designated driver or find a safe place to stay so you go out 100% next March 17!
4-3 right: You may not be an Irish expert, but you do have some luck of the Irish. The luck of the Irish will not protect you from drinking and driving. Become an expert on getting home safely by designating a driver, calling a taxi, or staying at a safe place this St. Patrick’s Day.

What a great way to take the fun out of a celebration! Will your boss understand when you don't show up the next day because you were in jail? Then there's the legal fees, the bail, the fines and the court costs. Not to mention the trauma and social stigma of being the guy who got busted for drunk driving. It's simply not worth it when there are so many ways to avoid it.
So, whether you're planning a night at the pub or partying with 5,000 of your closest friends in the parade downtown, you can't rely on the luck of the Irish to keep you out of trouble. You have to make your own luck.
