Help me make minor life decisions

My original plan was to take the day of my exam off, so I can have a relaxing day, write the exam, then go out for a drink afterwards as is traditional without having to worry about work that day. Turns out my exam is on a weekday, from 7pm to 10pm. So does it make more sense to take the day of my exam off (so I can relax and study, even though I would probably have time to study before the exam even if I went to work), or to take the day after the exam off (so I can write the exam and then go for a drink afterwards)?
