Default How do you feel about parties?
As it says in the title. No-doubt the inevitable poll (and it’s coming) will shed a bit more light on stuff but in the meantime … y’know. Think on it.

Hate them with a vengeance..,

I don’t go to any kind of social gathering .,

A colleague recently asked how I would cope with MY retirement ‘doo’ .. I explained that it won’t be a problem as I wouldn’t be going …

I do like my parties (not that I go that often) but only in moderation. I’ll probably have a good time and everything but they might either energise or drain me and it might be a while before I want to do anything like that again.

Lol. I’m not ordinarily so averse to these things but if it’s someone I’d rather avoid who keeps trying to get me to come out (as has been the case in the past), I’ll very-much avoid at all costs. I’m reticent with these things at the best of times but I definitely don’t want to show if the person inviting me’s a gossip or someone I just don’t like. You’d expect these things to fade with age but it’s probably something you’ll have to keep doing until your retirement-do. Only then do people leave you alone.

it depends really, party means pretty much anything. It can be everyone in one room, it can consist of lots of discrete groups or be an intimate setting with close friends. I've been to lots of different styles of party from award ceremonies to pool parties and everything in between and I have enjoyed more than I've disliked

Any excuse to get up and dance, in my younger days.
Loves partying.
Now the party has to come to me…more of your afternoon tea party.

Hmmmm I always liked a party but yes I have to be in the right mood.

I hate being around drunk people if I'm sober though... so if it's a party with alcohol involved, I would need to also be drinking.

can you technically have a party without alcohol?

You can definitely attend a party without alcohol. It's just not much fun. A weird phenomenon - drunk people's humour is side-splittingly funny when also drunk but it turns out... ****ing irritating when sober.

Parties and getting drunk in them aren’t my lifeline but let’s just say I don’t mind here-and-there and might actually enjoy them.

I did best part of 2 years on no alcohol in my 30s and parties with even mildly drunk people are an absolute horror show

Alcohol makes me more impulsive and wanting stuff I can’t have there-and-then. I like a good drink well enough but getting plastered enough to be on the same party-wavelength as other people wouldn’t be something I’d be comfortable doing at this point. Maybe when I was a borderline alcoholic but these days I tend to be the most sober person there. It’s not a drug I particularly relish in anymore just for the sake of social lubricantion so I just stick to the beers, the ciders, the Lambrini and a few G&Ts and Famous Grouses here and there now.

Not all types of party revolve around alcohol or necessarily need to to be litty-lit. Trust me.

Spoiler:

But admittedly alcohol helps.
