That's great you are going. Have a blast. One suggestion, tell your friends beforehand about her drinking (if they are unaware of her condition and are good friends paying for your tickets, they deserve to at least have a heads up) and have a ride that doesn't depend on her sobriety.
Yep- they are aware. I am paying my way, but they invited us. I did ask them candidly about their comfort with this, and they are fine. Turns out there will be other folks going as well, so not just us four, which lessens the awkwardness. That said, I'm sure they will all be drinking something- I again recommended to my wife this is not a situation she should put herself in- not so much the immediate company, but the entire atmosphere. Her call- not mine.
But yes, there will be another designated driver, just in case!
