DALLAS, Dec. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a New Year's Eve survey by Stir.com, a website that recommends people, places and parties to 18 to 25 year olds, more than half of their members have gotten lucky on New Year's Eve, and nearly that many have woken up the next day with a UPI (unidentified party injury). Black Eyed Peas playing in Las Vegas and Lady Gaga performing in Miami topped the list of best concerts to ring in the new year.

- More than half heard stories from friends about New Year's Eve that they didn't remember

- And almost 2/3 of those drunken texters regretted sending that text the night before

When asked to characterize New Year's Eve, the most popular answer 18-25 year olds gave was "one of the most fun nights of the year." Other top answers included "a good excuse to dress up and go out," and "full of crowds and I love it."
"New Year's Eve is the ultimate party night across the country," said Jacob Solotaroff, Stir.com's general manager. "Stir.com is the perfect site for people to find New Year's Eve parties to ring in the new decade - as well as others to go with."
