Bar hopping…or at home party??

So I was recently looking through the local news website, http://www.newzjunky.com. I came across an article about a fight that broke out in a Utica bar here in NY. Click here to read the article. It got me thinking about why I never go out with my friends and drink at bars. I mean I will, but it’s not something I enjoy. The town that I grow up in and still currently live unfortunately, is very notorious for having bar fights happen quite frequently. A more recent bar fight led to the Chief Officer of Fort Drum NY no longer allowing any soldiers to attend this bar. Which is upsetting to me!! I love going out with my solider friends and having a good time! They’re all amazing people. Then I really started thinking…okay, I can go to the bar and watch people get their asses beat, or….I can head to the liquor store, and invite a few friends over for some beer pong. I like idea two better! We’re all in familiar territory, we can all BYOB or whatever you want as long as it’s not illegal, and just have a great time. During the summer when the pool is open we’ll all put a fire in fire pit and just have a blast! You can’t do that at the bar! Let me know what you guys do when it comes to partying in the comments below, or you can use the poll that is listed below as well!
