stag nights
Pre-wedding male celebration
Stag nights are pre-wedding celebrations for a groom-to-be, typically involving heavy drinking and rowdy entertainment with male friends.
The British term corresponds to American *bachelor party*.
Traditional activities might include pub crawls, pranks on the groom, or trips to destination cities known for nightlife.
His stag night got so out of hand they nearly missed the wedding.
The female equivalent is a *hen night* or bachelorette party.
