State Patty’s Day 2016 has made a comeback comparable to that of 2012, which means the student body reached new levels of intoxication.

In another rendition of drunk trivia, we went downtown this weekend to quiz students on all things that have to do with this faux holiday. Once again, we were met with very eager participants. No matter whether they attended Penn State, or were just visiting, everyone we talked to wanted to tell us what exactly they think makes State Patty’s Day so great.

We found out that pride for State Patty’s Day rivals pride for Penn State itself, and that no matter inebriated or sober, no one fully knows the alma mater.
