Snoozy, you are always so supportive of everyone here, so it's sad to see you so upset yourself.
You know what I went through with my slip, you know it was hard and horrible. There is no way you deserve to choose that for you.
That drink you crave is worthless and nothing...and will make you feel the same. What if it sparks off more desire in you and what you say yes to is not just one drink, but a bender....or worse?
There is more at stake here than one drink you could be potentially saying yes to?

Snoozy, I just want to say that I have been in similar situations countless times over the past couple of years...either by myself or socially..where I felt less thank, unsettled, boring, different...and felt like the only thing that would save me was having a drink (many, of course). Just a month or so ago I was with a bunch of co-workers, some drinking and some not, and I felt immensely out of place, like a fish out of water. I got in my car and cried and cried afterwards. Sobriety brings up feelings that are otherwise stuffed down not got through because we were drinking.
Unfortunately, about half of those times I felt like you did the other night, I didn't stay strong...and I did drink, despite having weeks or months of sobriety behind me. YOu stayed strong, you got through it, and you are all the better for it. I will share my favorite quote (once agan) from Drinking, a Love Story: "The way to the other side of a bad feeling is through it, not around it".
You will get through this Snoozy. Hugs
