Here is the proper way to pour your Guinness:

• If you're pouring from a can, let the can chill for 24 hours first. When you pour, tilt the glass and the bottle at a 45 degree angle. Pour it into the glass in one go and let it settle. You can also flip the can into the glass and slowly lift it.
• If pouring from a tap, tilt the glass at a 45 degree angle and fill the glass two-thirds of the way. Let it settle. Enjoy.
• Go somewhere that has it on tap and let the pros pour for you so you don't have to worry about it.

Guinness even has a video to show you how to do it right if you plan on staying in. No matter how you plan to celebrate this weekend and on St. Patrick's Day, do it responsibly. If you go out, get a designated driver or split the cost of a ride.
