When you go to a pub crawl, you expect to have a whole night of excitement. Planning it ahead of time will ensure that you will get what you wanted. Being with the right person, preparing yourself physically, mentally and emotionally and knowing what to expect from your escapade will do the trick. And of course your budget, it is basic that you should be prepared with your most important passport for a night of adventure. Here are some tips that you might need so your night crawl will be something for keeps.
Consider Your State of Body and Mind
Don’t go for a night crawl when you don’t feel like you going. Consider your mood. Insisting on going to an event without you having a good state of mind will definitely not give you the best results. Be sure that you are also physically fit so you can stand the rest of the night bar hopping. You will need all the energy to bar hop all the pubs that interest you.
And If you have something bothering you, don’t go if you cannot leave your worries behind. You will be sorry to find yourself destroying your friends’ enjoyment.
Be with the Right Company
Choosing your companions will ensure that you will have a memorable night. Just like you, do not go with friends who are not on their best state of mind or you will be disenfranchising yourself of a night of excitement and fun. Go with friends you are familiar with. Your drinking buddies for many occasions already are the best choice to give you company. Be sure that you have the same level of excitement to assure you that no one among your companions will act as antidote to a whole night of partying.
Be Familiar of the Venue
Having to research about the place you are going may not be a good idea to some backpacking partygoers. But doing so will prevent you from some compromising scenarios. Having to know things like safety factors, how expensive the wines and beverages are, or how far are the bars from each other will give you the best preparations. For sure you would not bring along your cigarettes if the there is a strict ‘no smoking’ ordinance in that place.
Know Your Limitations
Planning on a night pub crawl, you should consider how many pubs are there and how many should you want to enter. Knowing your drinking capacity is important so you will be able to adjust your dosage to stay alive and kicking the whole night and not to have a mental lapse on those moments that are worth remembering for a lifetime. Assisting your friends in watching out their intake of intoxicating drinks will ensure that you will not consume all your energy for a long bar-hopping spree ahead.
Choose Your Brand
Pub crawls are not the best time to experiment on drinks. Choose the ones that you are very familiar with. You may not be compatible with some drinks even if they are highly recommended in the new pub you are in. Of course, you don’t like to have stomach problems while in a pub crawl. Or some wine may be too strong for you to consider walking to the next pub.
It is best to stick to your brand, drink moderately, forget your worries, enjoy, and pray that you will be able to wake up the next morning without a big headache.
