    A stag location is only as good as who you are there with.

    Are they all about drinking? Generally yes.

    Are they fun? Generally yes.

    I had a no phones rule for mine. If you were caught using your phone you had to buy an extra round. For the more addicted, their phones were seized and passworded for all but one usage a day.

    I've been on loads of them. Some stags are good and some stags are brilliant.

    Just remember you're supposed to be men so all that tagging, check in facebook bollox has no place on this trip.

    Been to a few and organised one.

    I've found that the better ones involved something other than Just drinking. Something like a hike, round of golf, paintball.....etc.... BEFORE (who the funk goes the day after?, that's just silly) the drinking starts is generally good as it gives lads that don't know each other something to talk about.

    I hope I never have to go on one again, the pain and suffering I endured after the last 2, never again!

    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.

    No thanks, if I ever have a stag I will be requesting no activities.

    Exactly, big night out the firday night, up Saturday and have the fry (and a pint) and straight on the beer for the day. Up the Sunday, fry up again and a few pints for the cure in the afternoon.

    That's how a stag should work. Who wants to be going around like a zombie at 11am the Saturday morning, dying from the night before when you could be sitting in the pub enjoying a pint.

    been on some brilliant ones.

    however for one on the second night 90% of the people went home at 11:45pm cos "they were wrecked" ...bitches.
    one fella announced he was tired and getting chipper then going home.
    the rest followed...

    ended up partying with 3 lads I only met on the stag and finished the night at a house party with a hen night.
    savage end to a night that looked like it was heading for disaster.

    But overall they good craic but really depends on the crowd.

    You're right, everyone would laugh at you. You'd never live it down.

    I over indulged for mine and had a 3 nighter.

    Predictably the friday was a complete and utter blow out. Think we finished at 6.30am. Were back in the pub for 3 and through the night again.

    Sunday sorted the men from the boys. We were in the pub for 1.30 for Newcastle Vs Man City. By about 8 we were beginning to drop, but then there was a NEIL DIAMOND TRIBUTE ACT in the pub, and I can honestly say I have rarely had as much fun. Bunch of drunken idiots boogeying to repeated strains of Sweet Caroline is a good memory to have.

    Had there not been a "thing" on the Sunday I reckon the nigth would have died a death by 10 as we were all absolutely fúckered.

    Myself and the buddies have another 3 nighter in a few weeks. Genuinely dreading it. Or the aftermath at least.

    I was at one, where at one point it was decided (probably by the best man) that the groom should be stripped naked - we were upstairs in a pub at the time.
    What followed was about 5 minutes of what I would imagine a prison gang rape would be kinda like - without the actual rape part.

    I think we all lost a little bit of our humanity that evening.

    Good excuse to have a night out. I just went on a 2 day session with about 20 mates in Dublin for mine.

    Worst that happened to me was having to get a few stitches at one over in Scotland.

    "Few" drinks friday night, band played in the hotel/pub we were all in
    Paintballing on mushrooms on Saturday afternoon, then back for an almighty session at pub/hotel
    Leisurely drinking for most of Sunday, then a medieval banquet style meal Sunday night.
    Weeping on Monday morning

    That's how to do it.
