Supercrew, I did that a couple of times. One time drinking nothing at a party and then driving home to have some "useless" small number before bed. Other times just drinking normally (well, what was normal for me, and not necessarily a rough go of it). And then other times, on the heavier side too. I did of course think about the fact that New Year's Eve as an occasion to drink was kind of ruined by my drinking throughout the year. Then I lost interest in the day even more and eventually was ready to quit.
