It can be worth it doing it at least once in your life if only to gain the perspective that it's an overrated experience.
The one time I actually went bar hopping on New Year's Eve was horrible. Where we were they'd set up some inflatable obstacle course like ninja warrior but tame. My buddy's wife wanted to do it, but he didn't, so I was like ok I'll race you. They made you take off your shoes when you get in line.
So my feet are always wet with sweat. I have hyperhidrosis. I have circulation issues as well and my feet are always cold if it's not 75 degrees or better. So my socks were wet, standing in the street, and it's 30 degrees or so. My socks were actually getting frozen to the street at times. After we did the obstacle thing we were walking up the street and I could tell there was something really wrong with my feet. I was stumbling and I hadn't had much to drink.
So we went into a bar and I went into the bathroom and took my shoes and socks off. My feet were totally numb but also somehow in really bad pain? I was getting frostbite. No this wasn't the pins and needles thing. I'm trained in outdoor emergency care, this was frostbite. So I ran hot water over my feet one at a time in the sink while people pounded on the door and screamed at me.
Other bad things happened that night but that part was the worst. Now I either stay home or go to a friend's.
I would not look to do it though as Im a pretty introverted guy and even I have had this experience. It will happen for some reason some day.
