With the royal visit and all, it still pretty much means getting drunk and eventually talking to somebody who was roughed up by the cops for no reason. Oh and you sing the anthem. 2006, with the kids pissing on the memorial, was a landmark year for patriotic outrage. Since then it's all been good, not particularly crazy, and if you're in the capitol you'll see some crowds.
But mostly people just get drunk. This is how this country works. We may not be a Top-10 drinking nation, but we're in the goddamned top 20 for a reason.
