Answer:

The Tradition of Drinking

Step-by-step explanation:

St. Patrick's Day first started to honor Saint Patrick on the anniversary of his death. The Christian people held a great feast for which Lenten food and alcohol restrictions were temporarily removed, which is why drinking has become synonymous with the holiday.
