Don't puke behind the Christmas tree; this could cause an embarrassing electrical short.

I avoid all official parties/"dinners" at work (we actually only have one Christmas party and all the Dr's and nurses get trashed and think it's funny) I'm embarassed for them.

I also refuse to attend "retirement dinners" I don't like to be forced to pay for peers' alcohol intake. I prefer to work so they can attend. Remember kiddies, Rehab is for quiters!

I have a pal who always brings a bottle of Jamesons to my parties and literally drinks the entire thing himself within two hours. If you try to pour a bit from "his bottle," you get your ass kicked.

I'm surprised she hasn't been deported yet. That's okay, I guess. We don't want her back.

I usually grab a sixer of Pabst or Hamms or whatever is cheapest at Key Food to take to a party. Then when I'm there, I'll drink the $12 bottles of Duvel someone brought. But not until after I've barfed in their tub. Or dresser.

Are none of you guys Irish? What's the problem here? You walk in, you get handed a drink, and when it's time to go home some thoughtful person will make the decision whether or not you need help. In the time it took to expend all the brainpower in this discussion, a halfway respecting Irishman will have tossed back enough to have solved the problem of West Bank settlements AND confessed to an affair with Rachel Marsden.

Shrieking at the top of my lungs and running around the room until I finally hit a bookcase that topples over onto me is usually how I diffuse any awkward, booze related party problem.
