Sober, gald I was

Went to a friend's dinner last night. It was about 10 of us total. Great food and lots of booze...lots. aside from a sip of my husband's old fashioned I had absolutely nothing. Drank my water all night, was "boring" (what i was told). Also witnessed first hand people going from being bubbly, fun, etc after a couple of drinks to total messes (slurring, dropping things, babbling on and on, etc). No judgements on them, we were in a safe place and they were enjoying themselves. But I will say, it felt good to have my wits about me, be able to drive home, wake up kindof refreshed on 5 hrs of sleep and be able to be productive today without a hangover.

Similar experience last night! I never thought I was that annoying drunk, but I’m sure neither did they but my god it was tough being with them after that fourth drink they all had
