    Why are these mutually exclusive?

    Terribly boring I hear!

    Stags don't drink.

    Leave the wildlife alone.

    It's a cnut when they jump out on the road in front of you, can write off a car very easy.

    I'd say it's a laugh as long as there's nothing silly involved. A strip club would be my worst nightmare!

    Perhaps asking your brother (or the best man) what the plan is might clear up your confusion?

    In my admittedly limited experience of them, the fun and the drinking are correlated. If you have the kind of "drinking problem" that I have - I don't sufficiently enjoy drinking - then you're not going to enjoy the stag do that much, either. :o

    We have many stag parties in Mayo, usually in Westport.

    They usually visit the local bookshops, go for healthy walks, climb Croagh Patrick.

    Any of them found in pubs have just lost their way, or think they have wandered into a health food shop

    Iv only been to one stag and within 2 hours we were in A+E, so yeah, theyre loads of fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    The best man at a stag I was at recently couldn't actually organise a piss up in a brewery, it was closed.

    Just try not to break anything and respect the locals!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,251 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Your first ever stag is awesome. Sequels tend to be a let-down.

    Bit like the Hangover movies so!

    Although I've yet to not enjoy one yet

    A stag should be a weekend of solid drinking. All this nonsense people get up to now like paint balling etc is just silly when everyone is hungover as a dog and would much rather be going for the cure rather than taking part in some activity.

    The "no camera under any circumstances" rule needs to be strictly enforced.

    Facebook and twitter have a nasty habit of spoiling a lot of peoples fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,957 ✭✭✭blindside88


    Stags are great craic, just remember "what goes on tour, stays on tour" that's the golden rule

    Don't worry OP, it will be all fun and games until Anne Summers pulls out her collection.

    Sadly, the era of the smartphone has rendered the custom of riding the stripper somewhat obsolete.

    Sadly riding the stripper has been rendered obsolete by the inability to get one to turn up at a stag

    Two very important rules. Put the phone away and don't tell tales when it's all over. I have been on a few that were legendary and a few that were dull enough. The best were the ones that weren't overplanned.

    omg cena you are just so funny


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,192 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    A stag night is always good craic, the 2 best stags I was at didn't work out too well for the husbands to be afterwards though as they are now divorced from their wives.

    you tend not to feel that way after 15 beers though.

    I thought most stags had solved that problem by the expediency of the stag weekend in Prague/Bratislava/Tallinn/Budapest etc etc...

    Or was that the Celtic Tiger??

    Drinking isn't for everyone though, good to mix it up I reckon. Keeps more people happy and more to talk about at the bar in the evening.
