People are in to Oktoberfest in Germany (and everywhere) because they like to drink. They do it every other day, but Oktoberfest is a 'celebration' of it (common perception at least). I suppose this is the same sort of deal.
Tough to imagine the pot-heads of the world making a 'big deal' out of anything (aside from legalization).

I think the difference between the two, is that a lot of people celebrate things like Oktoberfest by drinking. They're not celebrating the fact that they're drinkers.
Us drinkers have it rough. We get told to go to meetings if we want to celebrate the fact that we drink.
