Saint Patrick's Day occurs during the lenten period (the 45 days before Easter). Traditionally many people give up things for lent However on St Patrick's day it's 'OK' to indulge in whatever you've given up. Many people give up drink - so St Patrick's day is a chance for them to party with an easy conscience. I believe that is why Patrick's day is deemed so important.
