The thing I'm finding that is easier is just to tell people that you don't feel like going out, or you got work the next day or something like that. It's crazy but nobody asks a question if you say these things, and most the time it's true. I am tired of going out, I do have other priorities. I tell them how much I drink and they don't even think its a big deal. I normally top off a 750ml of whisky a day, I've told them that, and the response is either drink less, or drink beer. hahahahahaha. It would take a good 30 beers to get me that tore up.
