Know Your Rights This St. Patrick's Day
Regardless of how St. Patrick's Day came about or the nature of its origin and traditions, the American version of the holiday has become another reason to throw a party, eat some Irish food (or worse, foods we all normally eat dyed green with food coloring), and drink heavily. Sometimes, people who party and drink in excess on St. Patrick's Day have their run-ins with the law. Disclaimer: the best thing to do is be responsible and under control. However, if you know that you are not the kind of person, who parties responsibly and under control, and you have a sense that a run-in with the law may be in your future, then it is important to know your rights this St. Patrick's Day.
