My therapist is facing being the only person not drinking on Xmas. I haven't done Xmas for decades, but when I did, drinking was never part of it. People drinking don't really sit and wonder why any one individual isn't. If they do, that's their problem.
I've mentioned before that I had a fellow workmate who declined to drink. No one ever asked him why or speculated on what the reason was at all. Some folks got drunk at Xmas parties and the fellow not drinking was not on their radar at all.
It's the person who tries to entice you to drink that you need to worry about. My aunt died that way. Her husband had passed away and she was grieving, drinking heavily, and had bottles hidden all over the house, much as in the film "The Lost Weekend." Yet her friends still offered her drinks.
Fortunately no one does that to me. I've got one friend who's a heavy drinker, but I don't drink with him because I know he's going to drive to go back home. The rest only drink in moderation occasionally.
I don't know what to say about your wife, but it has been my observation that women have a propensity towards red wine. The stuff tastes awful to me.
I do know that you're a trooper, and your thoughts help me. We're all in this together, including Grace Slick... just another schmuck like all the rest of us. Doesn't matter if you're young or old, rich or poor, black or white, male or female, famous or not.

I think the cherry of his roach fell on his pants and when he went to brush it off, he took his eyes off the road and crashed into a mailbox or something. Yeah, like that's never happened to me.
He's an archetypal everyman figure who anyone who's done stupid stuff can identify with. But he was a loveable waster. Never was mean to anyone. John Goodman as the Vietnam vet was stellar.
