To wonder why [some] men are like this? - Stag Dos

[ImInStealthMode]

DP is on a stag do at the moment in Europe. 4 hours after the Groom arrived for the 3 day extravaganza one of the party is so paralytically drunk the whole night has basically wound up while they nurse him and try to stop him spoiling for fights or choking on his sick. DP called me because he's bored of standing in the street while they hail cab after cab that won't take him.

Same old story.

Why do [some] Men appear absolutely incapable of pacing themselves, especially when it's a special occasion for somebody else? No doubt this guy will be in bed tomorrow while the rest do the activities they've got arranged.

Don't get me wrong I've been on some rowdy Hen parties in my time but I can't remember anyone ever needing taking to bed before 10pm or spoiling the night for everyone else

This has happened on almost every hen and girls weekends I’ve had! I usually just ignore and go do my own thing though. It’s never my close friends that do it

I don’t think this is any more a man thing than a woman thing. I’ve see both sexes get way too drunk at hens/stags/weddings etc.

It's often the ones who don't drink a lot very often, someone who drinks heavily every weekend won't get in that state. He's misjudged how much he could drink and/or was keeping up with more accomplished drinkers IME

I used to work in town bars & clubs when I was a student. In my experience the hen parties were, if anything, worse than the stags. Both could be nightmares, but if the lads started being laity the doormen would deal with it. When the girls started crying & screaming and pulling each other’s hair, they just stood there laughing at the free entertainment and left us bar staff to deal with it. 😡

Yikes @Libertaire. Maybe the Hens have been on weren't so wild after all. Mind you I worked in bars too and remember the Men being worse overall.

I just think for Men in their 40s with 3 days ahead of them, downing shots from lunchtime is... unwise? I'd be disappointed in DP if it were him (and in myself if it were me, of course).

I’ve been on lots of stag dos and no one has ever got in a state like that, I bet he was feeling rough the next day. Maybe he isn’t a drinker and didn’t realise his limit.

My cousin ended up having her head cut out the back of a metal chair on her hen do, she was very drunk and decided it would be a great party trick. Her friends kindly filmed the rescue 🤣
