The one night of the year when getting drunk and making a fool of yourself is not optional, but in fact mandatory.

As good a time as any to go to jail.

a time to get drunk and laid and not remember what happened afterwards

The best excuse to get drunk and throw the biggest party of the year. It's not so much the fact that it's a new year that's so exciting, but the fact that you're going to go to a party.

1) The eve/night of December 31st, in which many people celebrate by counting down the hours untill January 1st.
2) A good excuse for bubblyandkisses.
3)A time to contemplate the age of Dick Clark
