Many St. Patrick's Day celebrations have been put on hold due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but the fine people at Guinness don't want you to fret.

The Dublin-based beer company released the video below along with the following statement: "We know that St. Patrick’s Day feels different this year. But we’ve been around for 260 years and learned over time that we’re pretty tough when we stick together. However you choose to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year, stay safe and be good to one another. Guinness today is committing $500,000 through our Guinness Gives Back Fund to help communities where we live, work and celebrate."

Regardless of what you're drinking, everyone should raise a glass to this.
