These days, Raymond, marriages rarely start precisely on the day of your wedding and just as rarely finish when one of you dies. Your marriage began the day you two started dating, in the same way that dinner starts with an entree, seeing a movie starts with buying popcorn and a choc-top and going camping starts with packing a tent. The concept of 'one last night of bachelor freedom' for you to indulge your primal masculine urge to drink beer and look at titties (or is that drink titties and look at beer?) is a fantasy.
Your relationship to your fiance doesn't suddenly change the weekend (or whenever) before your wedding. Why would you do something I assume you wouldn't do while you're dating? Or even while you're married?
Your best man, or whomever you charge with organising your bachelor party, needs to be someone you trust and who will plan something that best accomodates your fiance's wishes with what makes you happy.
I'm best man at a friend's wedding later in the year. We're going paintballing.
Other "buck's nights" as we call 'em in Australia, that I've been to have been combined with the bride's "hen's nights". And others have involved booking a function room or a big table at a local restaurant, followed by drinks at a nearby bar.
The days of the frat party style bachelor parties are, I hope, dying quickly.
