In 2001 and as captured in the Guinness Book of Records, over 300,000 adults 21 and older raised their pint glasses of Guinness. The Great Guinness Toast will be held in more than 60 cities across the U.S.
2007 and still going strong as a pre-St Paddys Day marketing campaign. This year's toast was on February 16, 2007 and the 2008 countdown has already started.
