It's like when I get a cold, I do not cancel plans. I go out, do whatever I had planned to do, regardless of what people think. I have many friends who at the first sign of the sniffles they stay indoors for a week and cancel everything. To them perhaps I am risking my health but to me I'm not letting it get in the way. Vacations are few and far between, maybe she wanted to do what she had set out to do. I wouldn't know, just a thought. When I am sober, I do not like to be around people drinking, but it's my own hangup. They act stupid and loopy, but if I'm drinking I don't notice it.
