St. Patrick's Day is coming up on Tuesday, March 17. Even though the holiday is usually associated with green beer, it's not even the drunkest holiday in America.

A new survey found that it's actually the fourth drunkest U.S. holiday behind New Year's Eve, Christmas and The Fourth of July.

About 82% of Americans will wear some type of green on Tuesday to celebrate the Irish holiday. It's also the second most common ancestry in the U.S.

The holiday isn't just about drinking green beer. I wasn't really sure of the history behind the day until I did a little research on YouTube.

Here's a short video about how the green beer drinking holiday was all started. Will you be wearing green or drinking/eating something green this Tuesday?
