Cinco De Drinko, Drunko De Mayo, call it what you will Cinco De Mayo is a drinking holiday in San Diego. It's that time of year (besides St. Patricks, the 4th of July, New Years Eve, Memorial Day and Thursday-Tuesday) when you can get shitfaced, talk veryloudly and dress like a wench. We love Cinco De Mayo, even though we don't know what it means because we love Mexico. Or at least we love the food and tequila, which go hand in hand really....Where are you taking tequila shots and subsequently downing greasy delicious Mexican food this year?? Wherever you go, play the drunken know it all by telling people the REAL story of Cinco De Mayo!!
The TRUTH About Cinco De Mayo:
Today, Mexicans celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla (NOT MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY which is on September 16th) as Cinco de Mayo, a national holiday in Mexico.
During the French-Mexican War in 1862, a poorly supplied and outnumbered Mexican army under General Ignacio Zaragoza defeated a French army attempting to capture Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. Victory at the Battle of Puebla represented a great moral victory for the Mexican government, symbolizing the country's ability to defend its sovereignty against threat by a powerful foreign nation.
