I will still occasionally have a drink but I didn't have a drink this New Year's Eve (or last either). I grew up surrounded by an alcoholic father and then grandmother so I never even had my first drink until I was 18, and I was always hyper aware of my lineage. I do sometimes miss being young and going out, I lived in NYC in my early twenties and there were some fun times but for the most part I am content to live a quiet life now. Hangovers just get worse as you age too so that makes me less likely to overindulge! There is no way I could go to a party at midnight lol! Even in my glory days that might have been a stretch! But I do remember staying out in bars in NY until 5 a.m. (or after parties like you say). That dawn walk home, yeesh! Glad you have a cute doggo to keep you company at all times, sounds lovely!
