You're right. Also, misery loves company. Plus if you are around someone else doing "wrong" you don't look so bad. It's awful. I hope everyone enjoys the holidays without wrecking their good sense and good habits. I know it can be so hard. Let's be strong and remain true to ourselves.
Funny story; My husband and his best buddy golf together every Wednesday and every Wednesday they get drunk. Now these guys are 65 & 75 years old. This has been going on for a least 5 years yet these two old koots are still trying to convience us wives that it is the other ones fault. Wouldn't you think they would find someone else to blame once in a while. We (wives) don't really get mad, but when we talk to each other we find it laughable because they give us all these stories every week. I don't even ask my husband. The first step inside the door and his mouth is going how he had to stay and drink just because so and so had a problem he had to talk about.
