Contrary to popular belief and perception, Cinco de Mayo is not the celebration of Mexican independence from Spain.

It is the celebration of a battle that Mexico won (with the odds against them)
against the French.

Mexico's independence day is in September, the 16th if I am not mistaken.

Now with that said, by no means would I deny anyone an excuse to exercise our freedom to party and have a few brews.

Riddle: Is there a 4th of July in England?

There is a 4th of July everywhere.... It just isn't a holiday!

You are absolutely correct. Oddly, Cinco de Mayo is pretty much only celebrated in the U.S. The Mexican state of Puebla, where the battle was fought, also recognizes the day.

I heard cinco de mayo was invented by the irish so they could have another holiday to drink. Just sayin'.

The Irish think that the sun rising makes a drinking holiday, and another one for the sun setting...

I'm just using this as an example to say that the Irish have many qualities that I admire...

And there is NOTHING wrong with celebrating a holiday, I think we need more of them to be honest about it.
And congrats islandbass, you are correct my friend.
