Spas Have Alcohol-Related Treatments on Tap in Honor of St. Patrick’s Day

Feb. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- LEXINGTON, Ky. (February 5, 2013) – Celebrate the luck of the Irish in a new way. Rather than feeling the negative effects of too many pints the day after St. Patrick’s Day, wake up feeling rejuvenated after having a therapeutic spa treatment. Spas around the world are incorporating different types of spirits into their treatments, allowing you to still indulge, but saving the calories for another day.

“With nearly twenty thousand spas in the United States, choosing to do something positive for your body can be as simple as visiting the spa in your town,” said Lynne McNees, president of the International SPA Association. “Spas are becoming more creative with their treatment offerings including the alcohol many will be drinking on St. Patrick’s Day.”
