Thanks Della and D!
I've been home from the party and subsequent fireworks for about 45 minutes and will soon be hitting the hay. All is good. My main impetus for writing is because I want to clarify a phrase that I used earlier today as well as in the past, namely some version of "got through", when describing some social event that I did not drink at. After further evaluation I think the term connotes that there's a struggle involved and I've overcome when my reality is that I'm not struggling and am enjoying myself as much as I ever did when out with friends and/or family. Maybe I'm nitpicking; maybe I'm not, but I wanted to clarify in case there was some misunderstanding.
Good night SR.
