What does the st patricks custom drowning the shamrock entail?
My guess would be it's a insider-phrase of getting drunk, or "wetting the pipes."The meaning of "drowning the shamrock" is from years past in Ireland.The Shamrock was worn to show unity and to show the Trinity. As the men worn their shamrock on their left breast of their chest they would celebrate St. Patrick's day most times in the local pub.Now here is where drowning the shamrock gets it's meaning. The very last drink of the night the guys would place their shamrock into the drink that they would have and since it was in the drink it was called; drowning the shamrock.I had heard this from my Grandmother when I was younger.

What was Saint Patrick's tradition?
Saint Patrick day is on March 17, celebrated internationally. One traditional icon of the day is the shamrock. And this stems from a more bona fide Irish tale that tells how Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity. He used it in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. His followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day. Today St Patrick Day is celebrated with parades, wearing green outfits, and drinking beer.
