Of course, we stayed later than I wanted and had to drive down unlight, 2-lane roads at night, which I hate. But I didn't drink at all. However, I must admit, I didn't have a great time. It really was a lot more fun back when I was drinking. But this is my new life, and I just have to make the best of it. Thanks for all your supportive words/comments.
