    St. Patrick’s Day is coming, and for many Americans that means day-drinking, consuming oversized corned beef sandwiches and engaging in bouts of fisticuffs with strangers and well-wishers outside P.J. McShenanigan’s Malarkey Ale House. Sadly, though, and tragically, even, this beloved holiday is not all drunken rowdiness and solemnly vowing to eat cabbage more once a year.
