St. Stupor, patron saint of ...

Asked by dabbler (18896points) March 16th, 2013

We all know that St. Patrick has been co-opted by the alcohol industries to promote unbridled ethanol consumption. At 10am proto-drunks who aren’t still sleeping off last night are already massing around the local pubs.
Whether or not St. Patrick did the Irish any favor turning them into Catholics, he probably doesn’t deserve this association.

I propose we invent a surrogate, St. Stupor, and to inaugurate his introduction, I welcome the Fluther to enumerate of what he is the patron saint.

Kicking it off, here’s one:
St. Stupor, patron saint of the lost weekend.

St. Stupor has certainly performed his share of miracles, one of the Catholic Church’s requirements for sainthood. Back before I was married, he made it possible for me to bed a true Playboy Bunny; something that, without St. Stupor’s intervention, would have been entirely impossible.

Good story @ETpro. It’s true that St Stupor’s potions can lubricate some social situations.
