I'll drink to that!
 
Presidents day, I work. Same with MLK day. What a stupid holiday. Black people have parades while ragging on whitey. White people go to work and don't care about the holiday.
 
We tend to drink most when we experience some type of spiritual dissonance, or when our inner truths don't match outer realities. If you're honest, all holidays should evoke this.
 
I don't see how this is limited to Americans. Adults drink when they get together regardless of the nationality. If you are referring to holidays where people go get smashed and party there are plenty, like Easter, that people don't do that on.
