That's so tough, Grizzly - I used to drink with my co-workers on occasion. There was one night in particular where we got out of control (especially me). I shudder when I think about it. Lately I have been avoiding situations with them involving alcohol such as Happy Hours. It's easy for me to avoid those situations because I'm a Mom and I always have some excuse because of my kids. The only thing I'm a little worried about is when we have the 3 day meeting at a hotel/conference center where the wine and drinks will be flowing. Fortunately I've got a few months to gear up for that. Maybe for tomorrow, just plan to slip away quietly and say something came up?
