NEW YORK — If you’re going to a New Year’s Eve party this year, make sure you leave within an hour after the ball drops. A new survey focusing on 2,000 adults’ plans for the special night finds that the appropriate time to leave — according to 52 percent of respondents — is within an hour after midnight. Nearly a third of people who celebrate New Year’s Eve will host a party this year (29%), results show. Most have had to spend New Year’s Eve alone before (59%), and 54 percent of those respondents recall feeling lonely. Just as consumers are committed to creating more thoughtful habits, they should have options that support these initiatives,” says Rakos.
