Today is National Margarita Day (February 22)! How will you be celebrating?

M$I don't drink often, and I cannot think of the last time I had a margarita. I remember enjoying them, but not to the point where I would spend any amount of time celebrating them.
I see this as just another commercial "holiday" designed and marketed to sell mixers and booze. And as such, it is not really worthy of celebration. It's bad enough that we have to endure alcohol advertising surge so much around real holidays, but now we are adding made up booze themed holidays? How irresponsible are we going to become?
One amusing point, however..
Why would you schedule your new "Booze celebration" during Lent? You are either timing it for when the boozers are cutting back on drinking, and thus expecting bad sales. Or you are attempting to get people to fail at their convictions. And doing it a month before one of the traditionally booziest holidays there is.

You are wrong about Lent. Sorry, you just are. Here in south Georgia, land of Methodists, Baptists, Wiccans, Jews, and everything else under the sun, people of all faiths give things up. Kinda like how people of all faiths celebrate Christmas.
And while I LOVE the food network.. It is one of my addictions.. When you announce a new holiday celebrating a product, it is commercial.
People other than Catholics (or perhaps similar Christian denominations) do not give up things for Lent. Most people haven't even heard of Lent unless they live near a Catholic community. Nor is there anything particularly commercial about National Margarita Day, note that that is the Food Channel I am citing. People create days about things they like. You don't see Hallmark selling National Margarita Day cards etc.
Everyone deserves an opinion, but this one is so biased that it deserves an unhelpful. Are you not aware that most people are not Catholic? Or that most modern Catholics restrict themselves to a single item "to give up for Lent"? Not to mention that in the Jewish holiday of Purim is coming up Sunday and Monday during which all Jews are expected to drink heavily.
Are you aware that people of many faiths give things up for Lent, not just Catholics?
It was an afterthought to my answer. My answer was not biased by it. My answer was biased by the fact that it is nothing more than a commercial disguised as a holiday. I answered your question. If you don't agree, don't chose it as a best answer. But to mark it as unhelpful just because you do not agree shows you as being biased.
Yes, my answer was biased. No, not in the way you got offended by.
