El día de la independencia is the 15 of September. Cinco de Mayo doesn't mean jack shit in Mexico. Nobody celebrates it.

Plenty of Mexican-Americans do, but it's mostly become another "white people have an excuse to drink for faux culture" day.

Americans celebrate it and that's all that matters
It's the 16th, and the folks in Puebla celebrate 5 de Mayo in extravagant fashion. Other states don't at all though, so yes.

The Battle of Puebla. We were being invaded by the French, but Puebla (a city) fought off the invaders. It was a battle in the Pastry War.
Hon hon hon le "pastry war"

Dude after the "Banana Wars" I think a war over pastries isn't even that far fetched.
(No, seriously, check it on google and laugh your ass off. The US-motherfucking-A, literally waged war over god damn bananas.)

It's a minor victory in a war that was mostly just embarrassing for the French

Drinking & eating mexican food. Most folks know it isn't independence day, & are quite respectful about it. There's always douches tho.
It's not really celebrating Mexican culture if nobody understands it's significance though...
Negnarholf
Eh. I just use it as an excuse to drink and wear funny hats. I could honestly care less about the significance of the holiday.
Since you could care less rather than couldn't, let me tell you: see Mexico owed France money ... Lol
Behold! Less care!

Isn't that also the way St. Patricks day works? Noone cares about the history behind it, its just an excuse to get drunk

It's not really worth celebrating. The french revolution was kind of a cluster.

Mexico owed France money. France was going to take Puebla. France was going to work from Mexico with the Confederates to defeat the North 1

Here in the states every holiday is a drinking day. Easter, Christmas, I even use other religious holidays as an excuse to drink.

It's "Flimsy Excuse to Over-Drink Day: Latin Edition," similar to March's "Flimsy Excuse to Over-Drink Day: Gaelic Edition"

I wish we celebrated Bastille Day

It's not really worth celebrating. The french revolution was kind of a cluster.

"Flimsy Excuse to Over-Drink Day: Beheadings Edition" is a go. Just convince your friends and booze it up. Maybe start a parade. Lead them!

I remember that time, I just don't remember anyone talking about it, other than just to make fun of Freedom Fries.

Damn. Does Portugal have a holiday we can prostitute for alcoholism?

Mexico owed France money. France was going to take Puebla. France was going to work from Mexico with the Confederates to defeat the North 1

2 this was 1862, BTW. Napoleon III was behind it. He was a dick.

Here in the states every holiday is a drinking day. Easter, Christmas, I even use other religious holidays as an excuse to drink.

I think you mean every day is an excuse to drink. Except Thanksgiving. That's when you're too stuffed to drink.
