Shamrocks and Shenanigans

I have a confession to make.  I am not a huge reveler on St Patrick's Day.  I will wear green to avoid getting pinched but I have never had a green beer.  There will be lots of shamrocks and shenanigans to go around at the office and beyond .  Here are a few St Patrick's day statistics from a marketing company called Prodege.

I can honestly say I have never been to a St Patrick's day party but 30% of people plan to attend one this year.  22% of people plan to attend at St Patrick's Day parade. And 34% of people will do something to celebrate the day.

Of course a big part of the celebrations tend to have alcohol around. 39% of people will drink a green beer today.  Irish Whiskey is a strong possibility and 36% of people will drink it right along with me. Get this, 48% of people believed in leprechauns growing up and out of those 32% were scared of them.

In a nutshell there is your report on all the shamrocks and shenanigans this St Patrick's Day.
