Sorry to be a bore, but there has always been too much pressure to have a blast on New Year's Eve. But with the oh-so-high expectations, the parties often turn out to be big disappointments. In the endeavour to have a great New Year, we often end up paying a bomb (as if January isn't a struggle financially anyway) on those parties which promise an out of this world night. In that one night, you will probably text your ex, binge on all those desserts and lose the new lipstick you got for Christmas. Here are all the legit reasons why you must avoid going out on New Year's Eve.
1. The Pressure to Dress well Is Way Too Much
Hit any New Year party, and you will find women dressed in LBDs and sequins and who wants to shiver in those revealing dresses on a cold winter night? No Plans for New Year’s Eve? 6 Things to Comfort You on the Wintery 31st December Night As You Ring In New Year 2020
2. The Pressure to Have Fun Is Too Intense
If you have always partied on New Year's Eve, you know that the unlimited food and drinks offered at these parties are no good. Year after year you must have succumbed to the pressure of having fun at a New Year's party with substandard food, drinks and DJ. Correct us if we said anything wrong.
3. New Year's Night Is A Cold, Cold Night
They created the New Year holiday to stay indoors, snuggle with your dog and relish a bottle of a bear before you happily pass out before it was 10 pm and wake up to a fresh new year. Single this New Year 2019? Easy Ways to Find Yourself a Date Before 2020 Begins
4. The Sparkly Clothes Are Way Too Uncomfortable
The bling all around can only make your eyes hurt. Besides, the only thing more comfortable than those sparkly, prickly, uncomfortable dresses are your pyjamas. Agree?
5. Getting To and Fro From Anywhere Is a Nightmare
Unless you are living in the upscale hub of a city, the Uber surcharge on New Year's Eve can be hefty on your pockets, leaving you with nothing to splurge on your drinks. Won't you want to avoid this situation at any cost?
6. You Will Always Do Something That You Will Regret

7. The Crowd Is Maddening
If the idea of going to Kumbh Mela always gave you chills, you must stay away from those New Year's Eve party nights. You will end up feeling like a rat in a cage, trying hard to fake a smile for that Instagram selfie.
8. The Noise Makers are Irritating
When was the last time you could share two sweet nothings to your partner on New Year's night? We are sure the blaring music and noisy people did not allow you to do so. If you want to spend some 'me time' with your partner, you might want to go for a quiet night instead.
9. People End Up Vomiting Everywhere
With all those unlimited drinks, it is not uncommon to find people downing drinks after drinks. And with the drinking session starts the puking session on the gutter, the floor and the couch (and you!) We are not trying to gross you out, but this is a genuine worry.
10. You End Up With A Bad Hangover
A hangover is the last thing you would want to have on the first day of the year. You will hate the banging headache even more so! Does it not sound like a better idea to drink responsibly at home and start your new year with a jog in the morning?
Staying up for the entire night is plain tedious, so why take the pain? Just plan a house party and play Housie with your friends. Set the mood with some dim lighting and flood the house with some votive candles to create that festive atmosphere. Your very own New Year party will be the talk of 2020.
