    Far be it from me to discourage pills and booze, but today is cinco de Abril.
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Whenever some moron (note not all 5/5 celebrators) starts talking about Cinco de Mayo, I start grilling them on the history of it.

    Hardly ever do they have any idea. I then ask what they are doing for Bastille day.

    I don't understand time zones. In Colorado it's Cinco De Mayo, in Arizona it's 1800.

    My favorite holiday when it's sunny. But it's raining and cold! I think I'll drink tequila anyway.

    Cinco de Mayo isn’t really a holiday.

    It’s not Mexican Independence Day.

    Defeating the French doesn’t really count.

    But hey! Drink some tequila and don’t worry about it.

    Room mate from college has his birthday on May 5. What a fucked up day for a birthday, every bar we'd go into to celebrate has tequila specials. Dude would get absolutely destroyed every fucking year.

    Yeah yeah...we all know. It's a celebration for the underdogs kicking ass on the French and the gringos party harder than the Mexicans. I'm Irish as fuck, so I don't need much to consider something a drinking holiday.

    When I moved to SoCal I learned how CdM had been intentionally broadened in meaning
    In the 1960s, the holiday was adopted in cities with large Hispanic populations, starting with the west coast and moving inward over the years, as a celebration of Mexican culture.

    Activists also commemorated it as a metaphor for all indigenous people triumphing over arriving colonists.
    Then the beer industrial complex took it from there


    The holiday was then pushed into the holiday big leagues in the '80s once the marketing departments of Anheiser-Busch and Miller Brewing got behind it.

    Triumphing over arriving colonists?

    What tripe and drivel. The French never colonized Mexico.

    Spaniards? Fuck yes. And they got kicked out. September something. The true Mexican Independence Day.
