There's SO MUCH PRESSURE to have the "night of your life" on New Year's Eve.
2.
Everyone you know keeps asking what you're doing on New Year's when you have no plans and don't care about having plans.
4.
The amount of time you spend planning your outfit and getting ready to go to a party is never actually worth it.
5.
Wearing your sexy party outfit in the cold weather never works out like this.
6.
Ditto your elaborate makeup.
7.
Restaurants do annoying, expensive prix-fixe menus, so you can't even go out for a normal, low-key dinner.
9.
Even if you decide to try the nightclub thing, you'll get inside and be instantly annoyed.
10.
If you're single, that awkward moment when everyone's expected to kiss someone.
11.
If you're attached, that awkward moment when you're expected to make out in public.
12.
Getting around is impossible.
13.
Drunk people everywhere.
14.
The one time you travel abroad on New Year's Eve, you realize that lots of other cities in this world have the same New Year's hassles.
15.
After New Year's Eve, you'll have a terrible champagne hangover.

Your amazingly not-hungover friend at brunch will inevitably claim more alcohol will cure it.
17.
But you'll probably end up drinking anyway while waiting hours for your table, since the line will look like this:
18.
The service at brunch is going to be slower than usual...
19.
...leaving your friends lots of time to talk about how they "got so drunk" last night.
20.
You can't go to the gym on New Year's Day because all the people who have "resolved" to work out are crowding up the joint.
But there is one really great thing about New Year's...
