What to Expect for Your Bachelor Party

A friend of mine is getting married this summer, and after experiencing the wild night of drinking and debauchery several times, I know that there are a few things to expect from a Bachelor Party.

First off, I recommend appointing a designated driver/drunk-sitter.

In case everyone is drunk, you need someone to be responsible for your crew. If one guy disappears in the alley behind the strip-club, you need someone to be smart enough to call the police.

If someone is puking and passed out, you need to be there to take the poor guy home.

Also, if your bachelor is having any doubts about getting married, you need to have someone there to make sure nothing bad happens with other girls. Cock-blocking sucks, but you don't want your buddy to wind up getting some girl pregnant on a one-night-stand.

Secondly, make sure everyone has a game-plan to get smashed.

By this, I mean make sure you know which bars you're going to. Make sure you know that at a certain time, the party-boat is leaving for the next bar. You do not want to get stuck at the same bar you drink at every weekend at your best friend's bachelor party!

If you're just sitting around someone's house having BBQ and drinking beer, this probably won't make a difference. In which case, make sure you bring enough alcohol for everyone to get slammed.

Thirdly, if you get a stripper, check out the references of the company you hire.

I know you may think that strip clubs are all the same, but I recommend checking out the references of the people you're dealing with. Strippers can be a pretty rough crowd, and searching yelp.com can reveal some pretty ugly facts about the company. Ratings are there for a reason.

Fourthly, have fun.

You need to be rowdy and fun! Make sure everyone is having fun and getting along. No talk about life problems. Only talk about how awesome it is that your friend is getting married! No sissy-talk! No future-talk! No job-talk!

Talk about how much fun you're having goofing off, instead. Don't be a Debby downer.
