Why do Mexicans celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
For the same reason the Irish celebrate St. Patrick's day. It's a great excuse to get borracho! For those of you who are Tex-Mex deficient, borracho=drunk.

Most folks think May 5 is Mexican Independence Day but that's, actually, in September.
May 5, 1862 was the day that 4,000 Mexican troops wiped out 8,000 French troops at the battle of Puebla. And, when it was over, those who were left went out and got borracho.
