How to get out of going to the bars for work?
We have this client who wants to bring about a dozen people from my company to dinner and the bars tonight. I said yes 2 weeks ago because well...it's work related. I plan to go to dinner tonight but I really don't want to go to the bars. (12 days sober) I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.
I don't *think* I'll drink if I go out with them, but then again I can't be too sure of myself. Usually "just 1 beer" turns into months of drinking so I just want to avoid it all together. What do you guys say in a situation like this? I thought about saying I haven't been feeling well so I need to head home after dinner.
