for it. Drink water before you go out, before leaving each bar, in between drinks, and as you head home to stay hydrated.

Don't go hungry - Pub crawls last hours and hours and you might not always be near a quick meal. Eat before you go out, and take advantage of pub snacks sometimes put up on a bar for free. Even if there are no free snacks along the way, make a point to order some food during the actual pub crawl because you are sure to get hungry after a few hours of walking and drinking. You'll also allow the alcohol to be absorbed by the food in your stomach, slowing down your rate of intoxication and allowing you to stay standing long enough to enjoy the entire experience.

Dress comfortable - You can still be stylish while being comfortable in your clothes. Especially around St. Patrick's Day, it can be cold and windy out in most places. Dress for the weather and dress with comfort in mind. High heels might look good in the mirror, but after hours of walking from bar to bar you'll wish you hadn't worn them. Wear clothes that keep the weather from ruining your night and wear shoes that won't leave you with blisters and foot pain the next day.

Stay with your group - Never leave your pub crawl group especially if you are going to new bars you've never been to or an area that might not be safe at night. Watch out for each other and never let a member of your pub crawl group go home with a stranger. Be mindful of traffic and always be aware of your surroundings.

Have fun - Planning ahead is the best way to ensure you come out alive after a full pub crawl. Having your plans set up and ready to go means that once the crawl starts; you'll have little to worry about and can get to having a good time. St. Patrick's Day is a great time for a pub crawl and it is something everyone should experience at least once.
