Is drinking "more alcohol then usual" part of your New Year plans.

I'm not a drinker, so New Years will just be a simple toast.

I definitely plan to drink more than usual on New Year's. For me, however, that means I may actually have one drink (if I even finish one). I typically only drink if I go out with other friends who are, and that's very rarely. It's probably been 6 months since I've had any alcohol, maybe longer.

I don't drink on New Years, mainly because I am working that night. If I wasn't I would probably have a few drinks.

19, so I can't drink. I don't drink anyway because I see it as a waste...I studied alcohol for a biology project and none of it is worth it. I don't see why people have to "socially drink" to want to hang out with each other over the holidays but if there is no alcohol then no one is having a good time (I don't get why).

That's not always true, and I would wait until you are old enough to actually experience social drinking before you write it off as a "waste." It's not for everyone, but for those of us that find it fun and enjoyable, we certainly don't see it as a waste. I'm a big wine and beer fan, and there are entire cultures and enthusiasts that enjoy different kinds of alcohol. When you become an adult, most people don't not have a good time if no alcohol is around, because overindulgence isn't the key.

Social drinking has been around since ancient cultures starting fermenting things and discovered alcohol. There is a reason for that.

I don't really drink as it is, so New Year's Eve is no different.

I'll have a couple of Martinis with my steak at dinner, then I'll have a glass of champagne with my wife to toast the new year.

Well, seeing as I've reduced my regular alcohol intake to zero, and I intend to have a couple of liqueurs over Christmas / New Year, yes I will be drinking more than usual.

That sounds just about perfect--I want steak, martinis and champagne!

I don't drink in excess very often, but New Years is one of the few times I do.

Unless we are at a party and are handed a glass of champagne, the odds are we would not order alcoholic beverages. Hot cocoa...oh yah!!!!

That is a good question. I think they meant people drink "much more then usual", but looking at the poll results here, that sure is not the case with the EF crowd!

We laughed hard reading your post. A friend (much younger friend) went out with their out of town buddies who came to visit. He told us he was the DD for the night. When we went and visited him the next day (he lives two door down and works with us), he was "shit faced). We asked him..."we thought you were the DD". He replied "I was"!!! I was the "designated drunk" for the evening.

Awwlink miss the old days of Dick Clark too. What a guy. What a legacy of music and entrainment.
