Hi Nova, I was sober at last year's Xmas work party and I had a great time. Two of my colleagues got so drunk during the meal they ended up having a fight in the bar and one of them fell onto a table and knocked a tooth out. Never been so grateful to be sipping cranberry juice and sober.
We're programmed to think that parties = alcohol. Just need to remember that's only half the equation. For us, parties = alcohol + shame + regret + hangover. Take alcohol out of the equation and a party = fun we get to remember the next day. Plus no shame next time we walk into work
