I'm glad you got through that without drinking and discovered you could still have an enjoyable time as possible and not need to drink to do that. Yeah, you may discover even a better sense of humor sober than drinking. Our perception while drinking was off anyways, compared to the sober perception. People think they can have so much more fun and "loosen up" and what not. I used to think I could ski better after downing a few beers at the lodge. Nope. Just a faulty perception.
