Spring, summer, autumn, winter - every season is improved by a good pub crawl. It doesn't need to involve heavy drinking (although let's face it, it can!), but a pub crawl is a great excuse to get together with some of your friends and catch up on what has been happening in everyone's life. As you do it more, you'll get a feel for how to make them more fun! Here's a quick guide, to get you started down the path of an amazing evening's drinking. First of all, make sure you make use of whatever discounts each pub is offering -because visiting more than one pub means you can get a discount in every place. If you can't find a discount for a certain pub, check out the food and drink voucher codes on any free voucher codes site. Secondly, follow the rules below to the letter!

Do go to a lot of different pubs nearby each other. That's the whole idea of pub-hopping -try to find a good chain.

Don't plan a route that involves a lot of walking, because drunken people don't like to walk.

Do take all your friends along. The more the merrier, as they say.

Don't make random friends in the street and try to take them with you. You may live to regret it.

Do eat before you go out. Something hearty, ideally, t
hat will set you up for a night of drinking without falling over.

Don't forget to eat, and then buy a giant kebab at the end of the night. I promise you will regret it at some point the following day. It's just not worth it.

Do have a drink in each pub. Ask the barman what he recommends, and always be willing to try something new.

Don't have ten drinks in the first two pubs and pass out before you get to the third. If this is likely to happen, make sure you have friends with you who are sensible enough and strong enough to pick you up and give you some water.

Do take your mobile phone. It will help you to stay safe and get in contact with anyone who has wandered off.

Don't wander off. It's easy to lose your group of friends on a night out, and it can be a nightmare to find them again.

In the end, it's all about having a good time. Do whatever you enjoy (so long as it's legal) and go out in the biggest group possible. Make use of food and drink voucher codes (from a free voucher codes site) for a cheap time and don't get so drunk that you lose your mates! If you enjoy yourself, you may also want to check the internet for good pub crawl routes - Britons have been doing it for generations, and there are lots of people out there who are willing to share the best ones with you!
