If it's not too late, go to the Christmas party! Go on, get dressed!! It is none of anybody's business why your husband did not attend. At least you could have a good time instead of stewing at home. Also, the man is being ridiculous, deluding himself into thinking that drinking all month will not have any effect on his liver. For goodness sake, I'd have lost it too. And I really would not trust him about the doctor's permission to drink--no sane doctor would sign off on a drinking binge for any patient, especially one with a chronic liver disease. Go have a good time.
