Of course, aside from the usual trips to your nightclubs or pubs, here are other things you could do to spice up your stag weekends.

1. Game night!

You could group your guys together indoors for a fun night involving your poker chips and some cards. You could also choose to invite some girls for some stripping fun.

Whoever loses in these games will surely have the night of his life with all the alcohol he has to drink.

There could be nothing more exciting than climbing up and down cliffs, wading through rivers, or struggling through gorges for a full day with your bros. This could be the ultimate test of strength and character as you let nature challenge you instead.

3. Karting

Wanna go head-to-head with your dudes for some heated but healthy rivalry? This is one of the most appropriate venues to let out your competitive side with some bantering on the side. We don’t think that stag weekends could ever be as fun if nice guys don’t get to lash out their wild sides.
