Talking as an expert on the matter of pub_crawls (= I'm a current uni
student)...

Most pre-thought nights out (i.e. we come up with a reason like someones
birthday or a club social) are college bar crawls.
At Durham university the first thing to decide is if it will be a hill
college crawl or a bailey college crawl. In total we have 16 college bars
plus 2 more on the Stockton campus (30min bus ride away). For some
brave/stupid people there is the aim of completing a full bar crawl in one
night, with stockton this does require some logistics and a time schedule.

Doing it as a fresher helps you get to see/know what all the colleges are
like, or their bars at least.
My pub golf night (sorry 2 legged) consisted of a score sheet of what drink
to have in each place, and the 'par' (how many gulps you had to get it down
in).

Having a bar crawl route mapped on OSM might of been rather helpful on one
night me and my friends had(sadly they trust my direction/shortcuts to be
safe, even if I haven't mapped that area yet). But that's another story, and
the worst route we took was when the bars had closed and we were heading
home(i.e. no longer on the bar crawl route).
