Bar crawls can be exciting but also deadly. Therefore, you need to have tips that can make you survive the night and attend another spree.
Bar crawling can be a great way for friends, strangers, and co-workers to meet. But pub crawls have their share of fun and challenges. One wrong drink can make you slur and be helpless. So, to have an interactive evening of frolic, you need to know how to survive a Budapest bar crawl.
This article gives you actionable ways of surviving a bar crawl.
1. Carry your ID
To join a pub crawl in most places, you need to be 18 years and above. That’s the legal drinking age in most areas of the world. Carrying your ID with you as you leave for a bar crawl will enable the crawl staff to confirm your age. Most bar guides won’t allow you to get into the bar if you don’t have your ID. Also, before participating in a crawl, find out the legal drinking age of the bars you’ll be visiting because some bars may have different legal ages.
2. Have a schedule
The core of bar crawling is to hop in more than one bar through the night. That may involve moving from one bar to the next. This movement is usually on foot, though there may be other means of transport.
You, therefore, want to plan for the night to avoid getting lost. Ask your bar guides the names of the bars you’ll be visiting and how you’ll access them. Also, ask them the time you’ll be taking in each venue to help you plan your night. Writing down all these things may help you to easily know the venues you’ll be visiting, and find your friends in case you’re lost.
3. Ensure you’re secure
When bar crawling you can easily get an accident. Drinking many bottles may throw you off balance and get you hit by a car. To stay safe, you want to follow your guide’s instructions and use your wit. Also, it would be best if you stay out of traffic and be extra careful when crossing a street.
Besides that, ensure that you know the name of your residence before you start to bar crawl. During the process, you may drink too much and be unable to find the way to your house or hotel. Knowing the address or the name of the hotel where you live may make it easy for a taxi or friend to transport you safely to your place when you’re done crawling.
4. Eat well and hydrate
Temperatures in the night during summer can be high. So, to stay proactive during your spree, you want to drink plenty of water. Water will also help to ease any hangover that you may experience in the morning.
Apart from hydrating, you also want to eat well. Bar crawls may take over 8 hours. To avoid spending the rest of the nights in the hospital bed, eat a hearty meal before setting off. Eating between the drinks can also help you be energetic throughout the night.
The bottom-line
Bar crawls can be exciting but also deadly. Therefore, you need to have tips that can make you survive the night and attend another spree. Carrying your ID, planning, eating, hydrating, and ensuring you’re secure is important during the crawl.
