I would hate to be at a binge drinking session myself. Perhaps just being for the dinner and then coming up with an excuse for not going to the bar would be best. You could have some family member coming over to see you later on. Or a very important meeting to get to in the morning so that you would need not to have a hangover.

That most of your peers go in for this sort of thing does not mean that you have to. Perhaps more a one to one thing out for dinner or coffee or with a few close friends would work much better for you. Take care. I hope and pray this works out okay for you. Have a really great week. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
