Two Booze Cruises Worth Your While

New Year's Eve has come to rival the Fourth of July for public fireworks displays in cities around the country. But don't just crowd the sidewalks to get a glimpse--get on the grown-up version of your after-prom party, a nightlong booze cruise.

We're usually not much for cruises, but we'll make an exception for a night. If you don't mind the cold, try Spirit Cruises' Spirit of Chicago (8:30 pm-1 am, $147) for a view of the public show over Lake Michigan from Navy Pier. It's roughly the same price as the party on the pier, but includes a four-course meal and open bar.

If you'd rather open-air dancing and skimpy outfits, try Island Queen Cruises' Biscayne Lady in Miami (9:30 pm-12:30 am, $30). Food and drinks aren't included, but you can't beat the ocean-side view of the fireworks. Happy new year, boozers!
