Day of Drinking

url may not last long.

Final preparations are underway for todays unofficial Saint Patrick's Day celebration on the University of Illinois campus. Today marks 14 years since the tradition began. Its an event that is drawing thousands of visitors. And police know that -- which is why they'll have extra patrols out. They say they'll put more of a focus, this year, on private parties -- though there will still be bar checks.

Alex Pastor, senior in LAS, said he will make a trip to a liquor store on Friday to stock up.

Pastor said he typically purchases Natural Light because it is more economical, but he will most likely splurge on Friday.

“I might increase what I buy to Bud Light because it is a holiday,” Pastor said.
