Did anyone celebrate New Years dry/sober?

[hpkeeper]

I celebrated it sober, have been for my entire life... people have the right to their opinion about beer... so here's mine:

if it makes you act stupid... then it probably is...



therefor I don't use it... but that's just my opinion.

No drinks for me, only 16. A few friends of mine went to TGIFs and had dinner at midnight though But one of my friends bit his tongue and so he was talking kinda slurred for the rest of the night and his parents went ape sheet on his @$$ thinking that he was drinking

My New Years was a bit strange. I took my daughter to the airport in Vegas for an 11:00PM flight. It was delayed an hour and a half. We waited with her until My short term parking meter was about to expire(BTY,I won $187.50 playing a slot machine while waiting)so we left for the parking lot. My car was facing a grande view of the entire Las Vegas strip and the parking lot was packed with people and camaras and revelers. My wife and I got to witness a spectacular 1/2 billion dollar fireworks show. SWEEEEEET!!!!. When it was over,it took 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot,and then a 2 hour drive home. No drinking for me. I gave it up for health reasons 15 years ago.

Happy New Year to all the AnandTech members,sober,hungover,still partying.I hope you all have a fantastic and prosperous new year!

[Mday]

[shadowfaX]

I don't drink, especially not on New Years. Why not? I don't need the hangover. I don't need to be drunk to have fun. I don't want to turn myself into mush either...

i worked 9 AM to 5:30 PM ate dinner watched some football and was in bed at 10 PM, slept right through it

drinking is so highly overrated...anywaz, im too cool to drink

did you guys know that some alcohol in moderation actually targets and destroys "bad" brain cells...the cells that slow down all of your other "good" cells. So when these bad ones are gone, your good ones can work at a better potential. This is why the average college kid (read: heavy drinker) manages to do well in school However when you run out of those bad cells, you're fscked!

sorry for the whack description, but I don't have the link anymore.

As for me, I wasn't dry, but I wasn't completely drunk either. Just a small buzz.

yeah, but not by choice. i was/am sick with the flu.
