anything that involves going on a crawl just means you spend more time walking and less time having a good night, plus the group will no doubt become disjointed, and you waste loads of time getting in/served/drinking up etc. anything with instructions is lame, anything too contrived is even lamer.


Pick a good busy place that you can stay in for a while to get hammered and have a laugh, then a good club where you have sorted out entry previously and where it goes a bit wrong in a good way, then those interested go on to wherever.

Sorry guys. I know me and the Lush have had our differences but this time I have to agree with his wisdom. Drinking games are foolish and what American frat groups get up to whilst shrieking "Moose, Moose" at the top of their nasal voices. Thoroughly un-British.


Drinking games often ruin a well planned night out because someone usually drinks too much Asda Vodka and ends up needing an ambulance.


I learnt my lesson when staying in building/demolition contractor digs and we'd while away a rainy saturday afternoon up north by playing 'ring of fire' and smoking skunk through a Vodka bong. Not nice.

Thank you Mr Wolf. Idiots who think they can drink a bottle of vodka/whiskey or whatever in under an hour in some stupid life threatening drinking game deserves what they get, either their stomaches pumped out or death. Drinking games are for arseholes.


Drink sensibly not until you're senseless.

My bro had a great stag do but then we are all real ale fans. We did a brewery tour at the Badger Brewery in Dorset then did a pub crawl around different pubs around dorcester selling particular real ales. Used the Real Ale guide and hired a 7 seater taxi for the evening. Ended up at the last pub playing darts. We went for the top beers and had a great but not too drunk evening.


The same format could be used in london as there are several breweries still and many many pubs selling any number of real ales.


Of course it will not work if you don't like real ale

Un-British?! How dare you, sir. I take issue, as does every University rugby player in Britain, past and present...


...the walking:drinking ratio point is a good one, though.

Oh arse.

I was going to suggest the Withnail & I drinking game. I even got a case of lighter fluid in, special like.

But now I see that Jah 'Adam's Ale' Lush and BigSensibleWolf have put the bok on it.

Any suggestions as to what I might do with 24 cans of lighter fluid will be gratefully received.

Unchastened, I too was going to suggest the Withnail game, though I have always understood it to be more of a "consuming" game, rather than just a drinking game. Does take a bit of organising, but more fun I think. (Don't forget the tea and cake ordered from Miss Blennerhassett, and Green & Blue would be only to happy to source you the finest wines available to humanity).


HB - there are many uses for lighter fluid: removing rust, getting gum out of hair, removing crayon marks, taking out cooking oil stains from clothes....the list is endless. Such ignorance can only mean you have forgotten to renew your subscription to Readers Digest, the bible of such handy hints. Let that be a lesson to you.

My boyfriend was on a Stag Do in London last night and they went Urban Golfing:

as an alternative from pub crawls and drinking games, but I think that's what's on the agenda today though...

    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.   
    • St Christopher's only take books in perfect condition. 
    • This is where I sit too. A two day event is bearable. Three tests my tolerance. Finding the right balance on size, noise and impact is where I contribute to the consultation process. BUT, as I wrote elsewhere, every year the GALA organisers ask/ push for more, and deals have already been done with the council before it gets to public consultation stage. It is also worth pointing out that when a licence was first granted, the orgnaisation was different (We Are the Fair), one of the company directors lived literally next to the park (she left when it became GALA) and the current form bears no resemblance to original ethos/ vision sold to the council and licensing committee. This needs to be pointed out and I am fairly confident local councillors would also support a pushback on any further expansion. We have local elections next year, so councillors ears will be open.
