Thanks, Everyone! I loved the poem, Lands! I drank a lot (beer, not water), but I ate more than I ever eat at a meal. The night was fun, lots of laughing. The crowd was there to party-kegs of beer, wine, a variety of liquors, and jello shots. There was a bonfire going with an outdoor big screen tv playing football games.
The bottom line is that I didn't overdo it. I didn't feel the need to drink everything in sight. I was able to carry on normal conversations.
No depression or regrets. I even made it to church.
