We've talked about the worst holiday overnight guests, and now we're giving you tips on dealing with those party downers that seem to pop up at every New Year's Eve party.

1. The Sloppy Drunk

Two Coronas, and it's tumble, stumble, and pants around the ankles.

Solution

Lock up your breakables and enjoy a good laugh.

2. The Weepy Drunk

What a party pooper: "2009 was such a baaaad year.  My husband left me.  I gained 10 pounds.  Michael Jackson died.  Waaaaah!"

Solution

Stock up on tissues, pop The Way We Were in the DVD player, and gently lead the Weepy Drunk into the bedroom where she can quietly cry on her own.

3. DJ Don't

He wishes he were super DJ Steve Aoki, but we don't think DJ Steve Aoki ever played Bread on NYE. 

Solution

Distract him by "begging" him to organize your CD collection.  Then, put on your favorite iPod playlist.

4. Ms. Sleepy

Nine o'clock, and she's already yawning.  By midnight, she's passed out on the couch, snoring away.

Solution

Switch her decaf with regular.

5. Mr. Skeezy

Mr. Skeezy loves New Year's because he can "accidentally" brush up against boobies, force women to dance, and snag a kiss with the excuse, "Hey, it's midnight!"

Solution

Mr. Skeezy can't hit on women when he's just been kicked in the groin.  We're just sayin'...

6. The First Date

Introduction after introduction.  Small talk in the midst of loud revelry.  To kiss or not to kiss at midnight?  It's just awkwardness all around.

Solution

Leave the first date for a night that's not quite so pressure filled.

7. The Fighting Couple

This dynamic duo can turn a fun evening with friends into a full-out brawl.  Or possibly worse, it becomes a Cold War, leaving all the guests feeling uncomfortable.

Solution

If you know your friends are prone to argue, perhaps their invitation got lost in the mail?  Perhaps?
