Every bonfire i've ever been to include large amounts of alcohol and excessive drinking...my kinda party ; ) It's not a bonfire party unless you have to squat in the woods, lol There's usually 20+ friends and stuff at the bonfires i've been to...so lots of loud talking, laughing, dancing, having fun. There's usually a couple guitars and a few sets of bongos, so it's always fun fun times. love the bonfires...
