When the boys head out in Vegas to kick off the bachelor party, Alan wears his satchel. Alan rebuffs naysayers like Phil, making the important distinction that his satchel is NOT a man purse. "Indiana Jones wears one," Alan says.

In fact, his satchel is a key plot device in the first Hangover. It's where he keeps all his "things," including Skittles and the roofies that cause the Wolfpack to forget the entire night's events. It's also the accidental switcheroo of that satchels that has Mr. Chow after them.

Carry a pager in your satchel, and ask if the Halloween party you're going to is "pager friendly."

Accessorize it wit a plastic grocery bag of Jäger and some shot glasses, and you're good to go.

Alan from the Hangover CostumeAlan is extremely comfortable -- a little too comfortable -- without pants. You can dress as Alan form the hangover wake up scene by donning his t-shirt, white socks, and Mardi Gras beads. (Why beads? We don't know. The beads never get explained.)

For this Alan Garner Halloween look, wear the "Human Tree" shirt and tape up your left hand with bandage. Tousle your hair until you have "bed head."

Wear the wacky thong underwear of your choosing, and no pants. (Or you can wrap a white sheet around your waist, because, "Pants? At a time like this? I don't have any," Alan says.) Add white socks and Mardi Gras beads, and you're good to go.

In many countries with high poverty rates, street vendors serve beverages to customers in plastic bags so that they can keep the can/bottle and claim the recycling deposit for themselves. In The Hangover 2, Alan adjusts to this custom with ease, explaining to the Wolf Pack that he's simply got a bag of Fanta.

For your Hangover Halloween costume, it's not really practical to walk around the entire day (or night) with a plastic bag of soda. Instead, you can make your Fanta bag using confetti or any DRY bright orange material you might have on hand.

1.Get a tall plastic gift bag. (You can use a use a cinched sandwich bag in a pinch.)
