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.
