The Great Guinness Toast also known as St. Practice Day has become an annual event of Guinness drinkers across the country trying to break the record for the largest simultaneous toast. It gets bigger every year, breaking its own record repeatedly. However, the event is much more than just a toast to Guinness. It marks the one-month-to-go milestone in the countdown to St. Patrick’s Day (hence the ‘St. Practice Day’). It’s a ritual! It’s a gathering of friends! It’s…it’s…just another reason to drink Guinness.
