Yeah, I tend to agree with those in this thread who say going to a keg party probably isn't a good idea at this stage of recovery. (Or at all, in my estimation.)

You might be able to do it once, twice, three times..........but eventually it will most likely catch up to you. So I wouldn't make a habit of it.

I used to do stuff like that all the time. Go to the strip club, casino, parties, bars, etc. And you know what? Sometimes I would stay sober. Actually, a lot of times I would. But then I would get cocky, and think I've got this thing licked, and would always end up drinking again.

Now, I'm not saying you can't go to any social function where drinking is involved. Of course not. Just go when your presence is warranted. For instance, at a wedding, or if you have to drive somebody home, or something along those lines.

We can't hide from alcohol, but we also shouldn't put ourselves in the line of fire either.

Just my $0.02.
