Quick History lesson: Cinco de Mayo is actually more commonly celebrated by Americans than Mexicans. The holiday originated from the Mexican army's defeat of the French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The French were trying to take over (With an army twice the size of Mexico's) because the Mexican President stopped paying a debt to France. Though they were unsuccessful in this battle, they did end up later taking over anyways.
Wikipedia (impressive source, eh?) equates Cinco de Mayo with St. Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest, and the Chinese New Year, pretty much in the sense that, as my friend Whitney puts it... "Americans will celebrate ANYTHING as long as they can get sloshy!" Well Said.
We went out to a Mexican restaurant where the wait took way longer than the meal, and it was damn near impossible to get a drink. We sat down and I immediately ordered a water, a Margarita, and a shot of tequila, because I knew that might be my only chance, and it was. Oh well, waitress's loss, I tend to be quite the tipsy tipper.
