Thanks again guys. Just so everybody knows, it is SO NOT worth it. I am writing this to remind myself that it isn't something you can "get away with." The night of the party it was ok, but the next day drinking the leftover booze wasn't good, and the hangover today is a mix of stomachache, achy muscles and a level of anxiety that I haven't felt in a long time, on top of all the remorse and guilt. My daughter left early this morning as she was furious at me, and I don't blame her.
Really guys, make sure you have a plan if you are socializing this summer. For those of us who got sober during the pandemic, it may the first time we've had to deal with larger social gatherings with drinking involved.
