I must be the only person who thinks that stag events are massively overplayed.
Not at all. I like a night out but I don't really find the ritualised humiliation of a mate (or myself) that fun. I've been on stag nights with mates (the stag) who WANT to do that and that's fair enough as it's their night out but inflicted on you by friends seems harsh. Having looked after a close friend who had his drinks spiked by other friends and family on his 21st, I'm not a fan of that sort of thing being sprung on people.
OMG. Are 12 year olds allowed to get married now ?? That's news.
Don't forget your fake IDs for the titty bar now lads.
What atlaz said plus about 20 years of growing up.
This may not be everyone's idea of fun, but the stag and everyone coming will (hopefully) enjoy it which is what matters. No-one will be made to do anything they don't want to and we're not going to humiliate the stag, as it's not what he wants. Thanks for the useful ideas, I like the beer mat one and may have to go with no swearing or pointing 😉
Some stag do things I've done that were awesome:
Paintball, karting, mountain biking, coasteering, a meal with some adults talking enthusiastically about the paintball, karting, mountain biking, or coasteering.
Stag do weekend that could have been grindingly dull and awful:
Racing to finish the next pint, again and again, for three nights in a row in order to be "hardest". What made it fun was that I knew there was no way I could keep up, so a few pints in when people's vision went wobbly, I'd drink an inch or two from my glass, then swap my glass with someone who only had an inch or two left. All night. Every night.
I bounced out of bed at 11:00 am every day fresh faced and ready for brekkie after apparently going pint for pint with them and they thought I was well 'ard!
(I quite liked the strip club too.)

Me too.
Went on a joint stag and hen do recently (a s-h-a-g do). We played in the trees at a Go Ape centre, and then went for a very pleasant meal that evening.
I've been badly enough behaved in my youth not to need to try hard at it as an adult. Drinking games FFS.
Rules are made to be broken.
Just get a kitty going at the beginning of the night and be done with it.
I do think it's funny if everyone dresses up except the stag though.
STW Puritans out in force then, I see no point in ritual humiliation of grooms or strip clubs however a spot of hedonism, bonding with your mates and reliving your mis-spent earlier years with heavy drinking and drinking games before settling down to married life can be fun, (but obviously not for the holier than thous here who'd rather read an improving book in front of a log burner whilst drinking a pint of fair trade yoghurt)
reliving your mis-spent earlier years
Where are you from and what have you taken?

Nearly covered my screen in food there.
I've got a list somewhere of 50 challenges for the stag to complete all are fun and it keeps you all busy. Drop us an email if you want a copy sending over.
Eg
21. Wheelie a bike (2 points)
24. Pull your own pint in a pub. (1 point)
26. Get somebody to deep fry you a Kendal mint cake. (3 points)

This. My best man organised coasteering followed by a curry, pub crawl and a bad nightclub. Great time had by all.
Have a kitty
Best man in charge of kitty
Tequila with every round
Stand back and enjoy
Rules are for, well people who enjoy rules 😉
A couple of games, but no rules from me.
Drink will you think: Very straight forward, word or subject association, can link it together by initials (last letter of previous word becomes first letter of your word). While you're thinking of an answer you must be drinking.
Pub noughts and crosses. Expensive and will get you very drunk. Set out 9 pints on a table in a 3x3 grid and use them to play noughts and crosses. Someone is noughts, the other is crosses. Whoever is noughts makes a move by downing their pint. The person who is crosses makes a move by downing half of their pint. Whoever loses the game has to drink whatever beer is left on the table.
Or how about a game of [url= http://homepages.warwick.ac.uk/~phscz/misc/spoof.html ]spoof[/url] (not my website!)

I'd have run a mile from that; for pity's sake, the first sentence has a spelling mistake. And rules......nah, not for me.
Off to knit some sustainably-sourced yogurt.
ie ten bottles of Becks and line them up.
Well that's me out before even starting.
Assuming that MrsPJM1974 does eventually relent and let me marry her, then I'm going to have one of the dullest stag dos ever.
I'm attempting to quit boozing so it'll have to be a sober weekend of biking for me...
dullest stag dos eve
sober weekend of biking for me
There's a contradiction here!!
Never really 'got' drinking games myself....always seemed like it's trying to force the fun a little, just find a bar that's got a late enough license and drink....you'll get the same result.
Been on two decent stag-dos abroad, one in Prague which was understandably filth orientated....and one in Amsterdam which was drugs biased, i wont lie it was amusing watching mates who dont usually take drugs getting stoned.
Havent really needed any rules as nobody so far has been stupid enough to cheat while on a stag-do and not expect the others to talk about it once back home!
If I had a choice between going out on the town for a 'laddish' stag do or sitting infront of a log burner reading and drinking fairtrade youghurt, the latter would win 10 times out of 10....
Each to there own I guess!
My only rule is don't get into a fight or act like a total tit to anyone.
