Believe it or not I have made it a yearly ritual for quite a few years, even when I was drinking heavily to not go out and get loaded on New years Eve. I loved the feeling of being one of the only people up at 6:30AM to welcome in the New year clear headed. I also always thought of days like New Years eve and St. Patties day as "amatuer nights", I kept those days sober being if I went out I would have to be around a bunch of knucklehead drunks who couldnt handle their alcohol as well as me. Hell, I was a pro!
