Decide the ride plan before the first drink: one sober driver with a named thank-you gift, or rideshares with a preset pickup pin a block from the venue, since surge zones at closing are chaos. Halloween Saturday surge pricing peaks 1-2 am, so leaving 30 minutes before close saves real money. Share live locations within the group until everyone's home.
Masks come off at every door, no exceptions, so plan your costume around that moment. Heavy face paint usually passes if your face still matches your ID, but full-coverage prosthetics can trigger a secondary check. Carry a physical ID, not a phone photo, keep it in the same pocket all night, and let the makeup half of a couple hold the tickets.
The scene has caught up: look for zero-proof cocktail menus at cocktail bars, sober-friendly dance parties, and event listings mentioning mocktails. Bar crawls work sober too, the wristband buys the route and the people-watching, and costume contests, themed dinners, and late-night horror screenings center the theatrics over the drinking. Order first at the bar and the glass in hand ends all questions.
