Unless you have a good reason, as I do, the answer most
likely would be no. They are concerned, if not about you
(which they might be), about their numbers and insurance
premiums. For most people the danger of thrombosis is
greater than that of hemorrhage. For me, it's the opposite.

There are oral substitutes. Plavix, for example, which
may be expensive; but aspirin works almost as well for
a fraction of the price.

They taste like pickled crabgrass. In a good way.
You can sort of test this by using asparagus.

Both the prohibition and the repeal were I believe a
20th-century phenomenon. When I first went there, I'm
sure you could get alcohol on St. Paddy's, but nobody
particularly bothered. Probably still used to drinking
bottled beer at home on the day. One can forgo one's
drinking buddies for 24 hours now and again.
