the moSurviving the Stag Party Weekend
It’s that time of the year, lads, when all of a sudden you’re added to a variety of Stag Whatsapp groups. All the lads are rifling in ideas and suggestions of where to go and what to do. And that one lad keeps sending in videos that should never be opened in public. It’s at this moment that it begins to dawn on you. You’re about to head away on a weekend with a load of mad men. You’re filled with excitement and worry all at the same time. So, I thought I’d throw together a little guide on How To Make It Through The Stag Party Weekend!
Pace Yourself
The golden rule on a Stag Party weekend is to pace yourself. Don’t let yourself forget that it’s a marathon, not a sprint. When you kick it all off on Friday after work, you’re in for one hell of a session. You don’t want to miss a thing on the Stag, so be sensible enough, lads. Wait til later in the night to really let loose. If you go at it to quickly and too soon, there is no chance you’ll make it through the entire stag party weekend.
Water
Before you head out for the weekend, pick up a 2-litre bottle of water, lads. Heck. Maybe even bring two because you just know someone is going to attempt the get through the weekend without consuming a drop of water, which is easier said than done, especially if you’re at a Cork stag weekend and visiting Ballyhas Lakes Adventure Centre. Last time I was there, I think I swallowed half the lake.
Lash some water into you before you fall asleep and neck the rest first thing in the morning. You need to rehydrate a bit to plough into the second day and night of the Stag weekend.
Soakage
Round up the lads and make sure you all get in a hearty breakfast. You’ll need the energy for the day and to soak up the drink from the night before. A liquid-only diet will not end well on a Stag. Soakage is key! Luckily, there are heaps of great food options for a Limerick stag party, so you’ll be well prepared for a heavy night on the beer.
Active Stag Party Activity
An active stag party activity like paintball, bubble football or zip lining is always a great option. Not only are they brilliant craic, but you’ll sweat out those shots we organised for you in the club last night. You’ll feel like a new man after a bit of a run around, a sweat and a shower. You’ll be ready to tackle the pints, an afternoon of sport on the telly, and a wild night out.
The No Turning Back Point
This is the point on the last night of the stag, around the 1 am mark. It’s the moment we have had you preparing for all day with water and soakage. This is the moment where you give up any and all hesitation, though it shouldn’t be hard after the amount of drinks you’ve had, and where you just go for it with shots and pints. These are the moments where, if you’re able to make memories through the alcoholic haze, your mate will remember forever. This is the proper send-off your stag deserves. You’re heading home tomorrow, so you can recover then.
The Hangover Cure
Whatever your hangover cure is, lads, make sure to have it ready and waiting for you when you get home. You didn’t have to deal with a hangover after the first night as you probably didn’t fully sober up. But, with work tomorrow and the fear setting in, you need your tried and tested cure to get you through. One of our favourite go-tos is a heap of rashers on toast and a couple of litres of hot black tea.
All in all, though, it’s worth it for a killer stag party weekend away with the lads. How To Make It Through The Stag Party Weekend should always be about maximising your time partying with the lads instead of being in a heap back in your accommodation.
