I think I know why people drink. Because they have no imagination and nothing better to do. I recently went to a Christmas party for work and most of the people that work there tend to live on the not-so-straight-and-narrow path, if you know what I mean. Everyone that I know is really nice, but I just know that their idea of fun is a little different from mine.
Anyway, this party was THE LAMEST party I have ever been to. People did not interact with each other, they were mostly uneducated, and my new boss, whom I still had not met, didn't even introduce himself to me, or to the rest of the employees at the party. In fact, he didn't say one word - he let the office manager do it all! I usually have a certain amount of fun at a work party, but then, I have also been in charge of them in the past (hmm, is there a correlation there? Maybe they need a better party planner!), but this party almost drove me to drinking!!!
So, the people at this party, I'm sure, would have rather had some alcohol there. And I'm pretty sure there were some comments made to that effect. But why? Here it is. They don't know how to carry on a basic, intelligent, yet witty conversation with others, and they also don't know how to have fun at the same time. So instead, they just get drunk, and laugh at themselves.
Yeah, that's a great way to improve your self-esteem. Let's get drunk.

I was at the party too, I must agree with Tricia it was pretty boring. I tried to start a conversation with a couple of people, and after 4-5 one word answers I got the hint that they had no interest in talking to me.
She didn't even mention the grown man (at least 60) nearly crying because he couldn't have the knife set present...long story - I couldn't believe how bent-out-of-shape he was until he finally got his way.
At least Tricia got her TB test shot at the party...pretty bad highlight to the party if you ask me.
Oh wow. that sounds like a painful night! bummer.
