I have had 3 sober vacations with my wife in the past 2 months and had a great time.
One of them was in New Orleans and another was in Key West, both of which are venues notorious for heavy drinking.
We don't go to bars, though, just restaurants, galleries and AA meetings.
The other vacation was Captiva Island, Florida, which is mostly newlyweds and nearly deads.
I couldn't imagine going all the way to a fun place and laying up drunk the whole time, but that was how I used to take some time off.
I would come back to work feeling like death warmed over.
Not any more, though.
