Thanks for the tips. I can't really tell him don't come because his family is friends with mine, the kids and the wives look forward to it too. He's in town to pick up his wife from the airport so they will be here no matter what. I'm pretty big on fitness stuff (and he knows this) so I'll just tell him the drinking doesn't fit in with my current training plan. I'll be sure to check in here with updates to make sure I make it through.
