How Badgers Celebrate Their 21st at UW-Madison

McKenna West December 12, 2014

Your 21st birthday is the one day in your entire life when you get a free pass to do almost anything in the name of drunken celebration. You want to dance on a bar in a top hat and a tutu? Go for it. You challenge a random guy to a dance-off but you’re so drunk all you can do is spin in circles? That’s fine, good try. The most important thing to remember for celebrating your 21st is surrounding yourself with your best friends… and making sure their camera roll is empty the next morning. College Magazine asked students at UW-Madison how to celebrate your 21st like a true badger.

1. “Diego’s Mexican Bistro! You show them your I.D. and you get a 72 oz. margarita for free. Make sure to bring a lot of friends!”
– David Keller, Occupational Therapy, Senior

2. “[I went] bar hopping on State Street, then I almost smashed one of the windows in our apartment from trying to talk to my friend who was outside. No harm, no foul.”
— Dan Cerroni, Economics, Senior

3. “I ended up seeing my old house fellow from freshman year at the bars. We ended up partying together and it was so much fun!”
