71. It's acceptable, traditional in fact, to disappear during a night of hard drinking. You will appear mysterious and your friends will understand. If they even notice.
I used to do this quite often. My friends would ask me where I went the next day and I usually had no idea. 
Dude, you did this at the 02 Con.
Some of the best stories come after people disappear. Sometimes they hook up with a female. Sometimes they pass out somewhere. Sometimes you have to bail them out of jail.
One time we had a guy go missing. He had gone out to our friend's car to get something and passed out. When he woke up he couldn't figure out how to get out of the car. He had some kind of drunken claustrophobic tantrum and wrecked the inside of the car. Broke off the control stalks, the rear view mirror, interior trim. He pulled the parking brake and the car rolled out into the street, then he passed out again. The owner comes out, also completely wrecked, to get in his car to leave, and the cops roll up and see the car in the street. They had a lot of 'splainin' to do.
Another time we are walking back from some RR tracks in one of those overgrown San Diego canyons, where we used to sit and watch the trains, and we realize we are missing a guy. We can hear him yelling but we can't see him. We see his lighter and the bottle of Beam he was carrying. Then we hear him yelling louder. We push through some bushes and almost fall into a 10 foot deep ditch, the remnant of some old construction. In the dark we had walked right by it without seeing it, and the drunk SOB fell in. Luckily he was only dirty, not hurt, and we had some laughs after we pulled him out.
