Wow. Every single one of these replies hit the nail on the head. I did wake up feeling really good today, which is a direct result of not drinking last night... anyway.

I guess it wasn't very smart to put myself in that situation. I shouldn't, really. I rationalized it because it was a birthday celebration for a loved co-worker, but... there are other ways for me to show my affection than struggle through an evening where I might slip. I needn't be a martyr. And what's the reason, anyway? Am I hoping I slip?

I am worried about my vacation. It's to visit friends who moved away (for 4 days) and my partner's father (for 3 days). Friends are 10-15 drinks per day-ers, and pops is a solid 8-10. It's a big city, though... maybe I'll find meetings to go to during the day to keep me straight.

Thanks for the support and suggestions to avoid these situations.
