— Kids these days.

They’re just not like they used to be—and that’s probably a good thing.

Whitewater’s city and university police departments are gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day. And while Wednesday’s weather might increase the number of people inclined to head for the bars, St. Patty’s Day just isn’t the boozy free-for-all it used to be.

“In the last few years, it really hasn’t been that much of an event,” said UW-Whitewater Police Chief Matthew Kiederlen.

Wednesday’s weather, however, is predicted to be sunny and about 60 degrees, and likely will increase the number of students inclined to drink.

“There are a lot of variables to the turnout, it sort of ebbs and flows,” said City of Whitewater Police Chief Jim Coan.
