Don't rely on luck, have a plan. What will you do if it gets too overwhelming? Or if you are offered a drink? Have an escape plan and concentrate on the music. I can guarantee there will be a lot of prior there who aren't drinking too..,,so just because you are there doesn't mean it's required to drink.

The key word here is 'seem'. There'll be plenty of sober people in that mix. Plus others who only have one or two.
Drinking at concerts was a nightmare from the one or two times I went to big ones. Getting served was a nightmare, then the drinks costvtwice the prices as normal, and then trying not to get said drink knocked .... nope not a good experience for an alcoholic.
Still not sure I'd cope with static crowds that big for any length of time either. Not unless I went in the autistic friendly zone where there's more space and less expectations. Not that I'm autistic, just as a SEN teacher I go to autistic friendly performances at cinema and theatre and they're far less rigid and easier to get away if you need to without people huffing or puffing about letting you through.
Hope it went well.
