Reply to comment by dale1320 in TIL Drinking on St. Patrick's Day was largely frowned upon until the late 1970s. Restriction were lifted for Lent, but only for the Food part, not for the Drinking part. by EQ2_Tay
It wasn't just frowned upon, it was one of three religious days in Ireland where it was illegal to sell alcohol, St. Paddy's day, good Friday and Christmas day.
