New Year's eve will be tough, but if I abstain, then I can stay with the class of December, and then have a fresh start to 2014.

What can I do to stay away from the booze tonight? Going to my sister-in-laws New Year's party. Hang out with the kids and play board games?

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.
