Dancing, partying and drinking; national holidays wouldn't exist without them. The top 10 drinking holidays by country are: 1. St. Patrick's Day (United States, Ireland), 2. Carnival (Brazil), 3. Oktoberfest (Germany), 4. Cinco de Mayo (Mexico), 5. Halloween (United States), 6. Purim (Israel), 7. Fourth of July (United States), 8. Mardi Gras (United States), 9. New Year's Eve (various countries) and 10. Christmas (various countries).

Not to mention Passover where even Elijah is given a glass of wine!
