How to Survive Detty December Without Breaking the Bank (Or Your Liver)
With December in Lagos comes an endless calendar of house parties, concerts, food festivals, and friends flying back from abroad. While it’s the best time to unwind and celebrate hard work, both your wallet and liver need you to plan smartly.
Drink and shop for drinks responsibly
First, set a drinks budget. Instead of buying bottles at inflated bar prices, opt to purchase your alcohol in advance from Naija Liquor. Bulk orders save you cash and time. Plus, you’ll always have a chilled bottle at hand when guests pop in.
Second, remember to pace yourself. Water is your best friend this festive season. Alternate each alcoholic drink with a glass of water to avoid waking up with a nasty hangover.
Third, alternate your drinks by choosing quality over quantity. A bottle of Chivas 12, Baileys Irish Cream, or Captain Morgan Rum will last the night longer than multiple rounds of low-quality shots. Don’t forget to mix in fun, non-alcoholic drinks for the designated drivers and your morning-after recovery.
Budget-friendly activities
- Host at home: Instead of going out to expensive venues, host game nights or potlucks at home with friends and family.
- Explore local attractions: Visit local museums, try library or book dates, visit galleries, beaches, or parks, which can be more affordable than clubbing or major events.
- Attend free or early events: Look for free street parties or find early-bird ticket deals for concerts and shows. Buy tickets from official and verified platforms only.
Be strategic about events
- Curate your events: You don’t have to attend every party. Make a shortlist of events you’re genuinely interested in to avoid overspending due to FOMO (fear of missing out).
- Don’t feel pressured: If friends constantly pressure you to pay for everything, try to gently decline or make playful jokes about it to avoid feeling obligated.
Finally, celebrate with friends at home where you can control spending on drinks and ensure a responsible, fun environment for everyone.
