Only 20 days left till St. Patrick's Day. Are you ready to consume mass quantities? Like any all-day marathon event, you require training. That's what St. Practice Day is for.

On Saturday, head to Streeterville for the St. Practice Day Pub Crawl, beginning at 8 p.m. at Timothy O'Toole's, 622 N. Fairbanks Court. After loading up there on suds, Jameson shots and accessories (green Paddy's Day garb is encouraged, and beads etc. will be available), you'll wander — with increasingly meandering direction, no doubt — through other area bars, including P.J. Clarke's, the Reagle Beagle, D4 Irish Pub and Cafe and Lizzie McNeill's.
