As hard as it might be for you to believe, not every guy wants to fly to Vegas to be besieged by strippers at his bachelor party. It's up to you as the best man or friend of the groom to sack up and plan an event that's right for the person in question. Put on your thinking cap, sit back, and use these suggestions to start brainstorming. And remember, there will be points for creativity, so don't be afraid to think big.

Bachelor Party Alternative #1: The Golf Weekend

Spending the weekend on the links has its advantages. One: golf is one of the only sports where drinking beer while playing is actively encouraged. Two: the beer cart girl is always hot (well, most of the time). Three: after eighteen holes, you can always count on the nineteenth (read: country club bar) to save the day should something go wrong.

Bachelor Party Alternative #2: Guns Are Fun

For guys who like to bond by playing war, hitting up the local paintball joint is an excellent testosterone pleaser. While drinking beforehand is not advisable for those who want to make it through a paintball game unscathed, make sure to find a local bar nearby for post-war brews. If available in your area, you might want to consider checking out any local AirSoft camps, where real-life war simulations are commonplace.

Bachelor Party Alternative #3: Be One With Nature

What's more rugged and manly than a bunch of dudes going camping? Spend a weekend hiking into a remote location where you can drink beer, play horseshoes, and avoid all celebrity gossip and girly chitchat. If you've got the time to spare, consider going on a river rafting trip or a kayaking adventure.

Bachelor Party Alternative #4: Tailgate it Up

Depending on the season, consider renting a box at a local sporting event or getting tickets to a college football game. Tailgate it up prior to the game and hit the local bars after the last second ticks off the clock. As a gift for the groom, pick up the jersey of his favorite player and award it to him at half time after he wins a rigged beer guzzling contest.

Bachelor Party Alternative #5: Get Lucky

Get your mind out of the gutter and gather up a group to the local race track for a day of beers and betting. Sync up with a track that hosts live music in between races and don't forget to find a local bar for the post-race after party.

Bachelor Party Alternative #6: Local Pub Crawl

Take the cue from bachelorette parties around the nation and create your own Bachelor-themed pub crawl. Make the bachelor wear ridiculous clothes and give him a list of stupid things that he has to accomplish by the end of the night. Tasks can include anything from taking shots to dancing topless on the bar. The key is: the more embarrassing the better.
