Partying after midnight?? Maybe in the early days. My alcoholism had progressed way beyond that later in life. I had withdrawn and did most of my drinking alone. If I did end up in a bar for some strange reason I would prefer one with no distractions. No Music, No Dancing, No people, Nobody yelling "*****" or whatever drunk people yell when they've had too much.
Drinking was my Anti-Social Life, not my Social Life. I just wanted the world, family included, to leave me the hell alone.
