I went into Boston to watch the fireworks and whatnot. I brought a little wino bottle of Southern Comfort (375ml in a flat glass bottle). I drunk the whole bottle in about 2 hours, hehe. It's funny how you feel fine one minute, then the next minute you're buzzing like crazy.

I only had two shots of Wild Turkey and 2 regular mixed Wild Turkey drins... If it wasn't on a full stomach I wouldn't have had any! I don't enjoy being drunk because of how it makes you completely stupid. There was only 2 other people at the party that stayed sober though so I didn't have a whole bunch of people to have intelligent conversations with anyways :)

I don't drink alcohol. Besides, what the point of getting drunk during New Years? You would be too drunk to know what's going on and why everyone is celebrating.

I stayed dry this year. I usually don't get that drunk anyway. I stopped doing that about 5 years ago.

One lesson learned this year: Don't let you grandparents buy the Champagne, esp if they don't speak English. They bought non-alcoholic :( Had to spike it with Vodka.

I have never understood the appeal of getting sloshed. I occasionally have a glass of wine with my meal but that's pretty much it.
Yep! last Nnight I enjoyed my ever-favorite coca-cola and had the most hilarious game of Star Wars monopoly(yes we are official nerds) with my hubby and some friends and made fun of Dick Clark. Had a wonderful time, and rang in the new year in my Hubby's arms. That's all I could ever ask for:)

Me and my cousin were the only sober folks at a party of about 10 last night. That's probably good seeing howz we were the only people driving (he drove his girlfriend home and I took these 3 fine [read: drunk:p] ladies).;)

Got to spend it in the ER---wife was having chest pains, but the good news is nothing showed on the tests. The bad news is nothing showed on the tests..... Managed to miss Boston's 90 seconds of fireworks---seems they had a Y2K+1 computer glitch.

Would not say sobre for the most part.
Getting sloshed sucks. I see no point in it.
Controllably buzzed is nice.
New Years isnt that much of a huge deal.
The calendar changes.
/me twirls his fingers in the air.

I never drink so I had a sober New Years! :) I like being sober I have control over what I do and I remember what I do and what other people do.

I was sober as hell, for 2 reasons:
1)I spent the night at home playing CS.
&
2)I'm only 15 and the parents wont let me drink.
