Your stag party is finally here after months of anticipation! Even though the best man assures you he controls everything, there is always some uncertainty. The unknown makes you nervous, whether you are the groom or a guest. You’re ready to have some fun but also want to come out of it with your eyebrows intact. Please look through our ultimate survival guide and make this weekend one to remember.
We have thousands of ideas for stag parties. Check out our nightlife, activities, and accommodation.
Damage limitation
Everyone is out for themselves. Now your best man is your enemy. On the first page of the bible for stag parties, it says that the best guy must give the groom, other stags, and the bride a night they will never forget. The night will be filled with humiliation and bord, borderline-legal, and most likely copious amounts of beer and nudity from the groom-to-be. There is no bible, but this is what it says. Prior planning and thought is required to ensure everyone has a great time on the weekend.
Enjoy “The Chat”
We all fear ‘the talk.’ Even Anthony Joshua would tremble in his boots if he heard those words. Although it will never be easy, you should always set clear boundaries. Yes, you can shave selectively. No tattoo of your ex’s name. It’s not guaranteed that he will listen, so be prepared and learn the best Stag Do Pranks.
Stagger it
While the blokes in Eastenders might decide to go on a stag night the night before their wedding, today, stag parties are usually planned well before the big event. Ideally, the permanent marker should fade before the stag does. You don’t want to see stags carrying railings sawn off to church. It might look good on TV, but you would like something else. The more you plan, the better the deals on destinations.
Take into account past precedents
What goes around, comes around. All stags should learn from this saying our mothers use when gossiping over a cup of tea. Remember his stag do if your best man returns the favor. He’ll want you to do it all over again, only worse. Be warned, if you let loose on his stag do, you must butter up your own before it.
The secret weapon
Also called the white lie. You can use the secret weapon if your appeals are unheard of. Tell your best man you are inviting the new father-in-law or the brothers of the bride-to-be. Your friends may want to see you in an uncomfortable situation, but they will not want to ruin your family’s Christmas.
Classy is in
You can also opt for a classier activity like whiskey tasting.
What is a picture
You can’t do much without someone recording it in today’s digital age. It might be wise to rule that no cameras are allowed on social media. Your current employer, future employer, bank manager, and even your grandmother may stumble upon your page. Or, at the very least, ban any images that are uploaded.
Booze Basics
One of the most important expectations for a groom is to drink as much alcohol as possible. It’s important to know the risks involved before you begin, whether you are a man who drinks a lot of alcohol or just shandies. You don’t want to be injured by over-consumption. And remember, you are not only a stranger to us. We value your web traffic and would miss you if someone died. You can skip the booze-free stag weekends and instead go for a drinkathon.
Booze
Recent reports claim alcohol will take over 90,000 British lives in the next decade. This does not include the accidental deaths of drunken stags who stumbled onto a dual-carriageway while wearing only a tutu. Someone has to be a Debbie Downer.
Are you getting more obnoxious
Although most alcohol-related deaths result from long-term drinking, short binges can have several risks. The NHS website also warns about effects like becoming “more obnoxious” to others, losing bladder control, and an increased heart attack risk. Spend your time doing paintballing. Note to self: While paintballing is not as dangerous, it can still cause some damage.
The recovery position
The stag is one of the most important responsibilities of the best man. You have to ensure that he doesn’t end up in A&E.
Next day
We all have our favorite hangover remedies, whether a full English or a pint. The NHS recommends paracetamol, sugary foods, water, and isotonic beverages. We think that a day packed with activities can do the trick.
Drinking Techniques
How can you ensure you will still stand at the end of your stag?
Eating is not cheating.
The body absorbs alcohol more slowly when you eat, so there’s less chance you will need to go to bed early. Why not begin the evening with a restaurant visit high in fat or carbohydrates?
The white stuff
This is not an old wives’ tale. A pre-sesh milk glass helps to prevent stomach irritation and improves drinking stamina. Sadly, this logic doesn’t apply to White Russians.
Tactical Drinking
We might sound like your parents, but drinking water between drinks will help keep your body hydrated. Take this advice, lads. Dehydration is one of the main reasons why you feel so bad the next morning. You might get a little stick from your friends if you drink water now and then, but if you tell them that it is neat vodka, they will think you are Superman.
The old switcheroo
You’ll be encouraged to drink as much as you can by your stag do, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have much fun. You can get rid of the drink you don’t want to drink if you are given more alcohol than you can consume. Plants, glasses of other people, or sympathetic accomplices are the best places to hide unwanted shots. Remember to pull your face and slam the glass down for dramatic effect.
