Drunken debauchery, lapdancing clubs with strippers galore and naked men chained to railings the night before their wedding! It can only be the most celebrated tradition of the 21st century - The Stag Do!!

The Stag Night Weekends invariably took place over an evening - traditionally the night before the wedding - however, modern day men celebrate the hardcore way with stag weekends celebrated over as many as 3 or 4 days. The elongation of the traditional Stag Night Weekend has the stag and his party jumping for joy, so no wonder some women get just a little apprehensive when their partners announce they are off on a stag weekend with a bunch of testosterone enhanced buddies!

The choice of destination is merely the beginning, with activity centres opening up all over the world, extreme sports is the tip of the iceberg and strip clubs an exciting reality. These days our men not only have it too good, they’re not ashamed to take the bull by the horns and go all out for the party experience of their life! With stag nights and stag weekends drifting abroad, Europe is a top stag destination with places like Reykjavik, Riga, Estonia, Prague and Amsterdam tipping the top of the popularity boards.

Websites such as www.betterweekends.com, promote group activity Stag Night Weekends and stag breaks to these European cities for a long weekends of cheap drinks, Extreme sports, go-karting with strip clubs aplenty.

Foreign embassies are becoming so overwhelmed with Stag Night Parties, who turn to them for help with replacing lost passports or tracking down lost friends, they are going to impose an £84-an-hour charge for consular time.

So what is the key to a safe and successful Stag do?

Firstly and fore mostly, plan ahead and make sure everyone knows where they are going and what the itinerary is before the weekend.

If you can’t be responsible for yourself, nominate someone - it’s generally a good idea if it’s the best man or the person that’s arranged the stag do - to be responsible for planning the itinerary and gathering the group together.

Make sure the passports are valid, photocopied and handed to the group organiser to put in a safe place in the event of passports being lost or stolen - this saves so much time, hassle and money if like in many, many cases they do go awol.

Take down everyone’s mobile number at the start of the stag do and before you leave British soil! Believe it or not, your loved and trusted friends can go missing (a mix of alcohol and ladies is enough to lead any red bloodied man astray whatever his normal good intention are) and this may be hysterically funny at first, however, it can turn into a anxious nightmare, if, at the end of the stag do, they still haven’t reappeared! It sounds extreme, but believe me it happens and it happens a lot!

Be aware that you are in a strange country and bad behaviour is rarely tolerated. Research the area you are travelling to and check out the do’s and don’ts before you go.

Know your alcohol limit – it can impair judgment, lead to accidents and can increase the risk of you becoming a victim of crime.

Finally, have a great time and enjoy the whole experience.
