	Don't blame me if your favorite holiday isn't in there. I just based it off Time's list.

	Alan Jackson's father disputes this list.

	I typed in St patricks day in several forms and none were accepted. Something funny: today is cinco de mayo and I didn't get that one right XD

	Like I said, don't blame me. Blame Time magazine.

	Not blaming you, but I am very surprised to not see Memorial Day weekend on the Time Magazine list. I would have guessed that it would have been at least in the top 5

	Ya, it's an arbitrary list. Obviously, Cinco de Mayo and St. Patrick's Day should be on there. All the others, though, are subjective on the Time writer's part.

	ok what is derby day? and i get cinco de mayo being on the list but #1?

	alleycat9:	May 10th, 2010 at 05:22 GMT		2 points
	the proper term is amateur night and there are only 3 of them. new years eve, st patricks day and the day before thanksgiving. no real alcoholic goes out on those days.

	This is why lists are useless. Who gets drunk for Purim unless you're Jewish? Most people have no idea what it is!! And Derby Day? Who gets drunk for the Kentucky Derby unless you are actually there?

	The only thing I blame you for is not naming the quiz..drunkest days.....holidays means something else entirely. Now if you'll excuse me..tomorrow is Purim..I'm gonna get f********* up!

	Supernuke:	May 10th, 2010 at 06:35 GMT		18 points
	For those who don't know, Purim is a Jewish holiday where your basically supposed to get drunk. That being said, considering the small percentage of the US population that would celebrate Purim, it should not be on the list.

	Buscemi:	May 10th, 2010 at 09:11 GMT		2 points
	The people who've never heard of Purim should watch For Your Consideration, a humorous depiction of the holiday. Also, what about Black Drinking Day? lol

	Kyotomoon: I took your advice and changed the quiz's name. Drunkest Days is a more apt title.

	@Jsulit1...The night before Thanksgiving is generally the biggest night of the year in the bar industry, at least on Long Island. I don't know why it would be different anywhere else. I think it has to do with a few things. First is the universality with which people are off. Almost nobody has to work the next day. Second I think is that the night itself is not a holiday. Nobody has to work on Christmas either but Christmas Eve is considered a night to be with family. Another is that people go home for Thanksgiving. People travel more for it than for Christmas and it's a sort of standard way to socialize with the people from the old neighborhood by heading out to the old waterhing hole. Anyway, I'm just speculating on the reasons why, but it is true that Thanksgiving Eve is a huge night in the bar business, often the biggest of the year.

	The United States--where we celebrate the diversity of others if it means we can drink a lot.

	Another reason Thanksgiving eve is so big, is because so many people travel home for the holiday, that the night before is a great way to get together with old friends. In the industry it is called Black Wednesday, also Super Bowl Sunday I would have thought would be higher, and it may not offically be a holiday. I am SHOCKED that Purim made the list...break out the Manishevitz...

	johnlk:	May 10th, 2010 at 17:21 GMT		4 points
	What on earth is this based on? I can't believe that more alcohol is consumed on Purim than on Super Bowl Sunday. Or that more alcohol is consumed on Cinco de Mayo (not a holiday, often on a weekday) than on New Year's Eve (when the vast majority of people don't have work/school the next day).

	Thank you so very very much for taking "thanksgiving" for thanksgiving eve. That could've easily been a stickler move. Good form.

	you should accept May 5th and March 17th.

	The moral of the story is that Americans will use any excuse to drink.

	Too bad the source is subjective. Shouldn't be too hard to find the days that get the most DUIs or something...

	Seriously, wtf is purim? And cinco de mayo is not mexico's independence day, it is a celebration of one battle against the French of all people (is beating the french in battle even celebration worthy?), and is only celebrated locally near that area in Mexico, it is a contrived holiday by beer/liquor companies in the U.S. Time magazine sucks anyway, almost as much as this list does.

	There's no way that Time can convince me that there's more drinking on Purim than Super Bowl Sunday
