I would drink green lager, but Guinness doesn't dye green easily.

That reminds me of a funny story... my freshman year in college, some friends
of mine and I wanted to drink Green Beer on St. Paddy's Day.  We went down to
the grocery to get some green food coloring, but had no idea how *little*
coloring it took to dye a glass of beer- so we bought two large bottles of
green dye.

Awesome.  That reminds me of a line in Harrison Ford remake of _The
Fugitive_ -- "Why can't they die the river blue the other 364 days of the
year?"

All our food was dyed green for weeks after that, in a misguided attempt not to
waste it.  Eventually, we gave up and threw most of both bottles away.

At first I read that as, "Eventually, we threw up and gave most of the
bottles away."  :-)
