Thanks for the fresh thread, Dee.
I'm ok-- the bar is closed & basically all of at least this neighborhood in DC is shut down by now, 11 p.m. on Sunday evening, so I'd have to work pretty hard to drink tonight. I ended up watching a bunch of non-alcoholics drink VERY sparingly tonight, except Rob, who sucked down 2 gin & tonics pretty enthusiastically, but I think he was just thirsty. I don't know how these people do it. My closest colleague asked me point blank about why I stopped drinking -- actually, she asked, do you lose control when you drink? I had to think about that a while! Finally I said that I seldom lost control of my drinking -- in the end, it was just that for the sake of controlling my drinking, I gave up control of everything else.
Have a good night, everyone.
