Wow, if you don't go send me the invitation!
Recently I attended an out of town large family affair - wedding / memorial day booze - backyard pool fest. I had some trepidation about going for sure.
Once engaged in the event it wasn't really very difficult to have fun without drinking. Simply, I don't drink anymore.
Dee made a comment on a thread I started prior to going - something like, going through those events cemented my decision not to drink. I could not agree more.
Go, have fun and as Sharon posted - wear your sober armor. Helmet and shield at the ready.........
Now, if you're talking Rolling Stones in their hay-day type party - RUN away
Exit strategy
Phone a friend/talk to another alcoholic
Eat
Enjoy........
