I held one Christmas party and attended one Christmas party.

In both cases, the number of guests were very few, all guests had left before midnight, and the amount of drinking wa modest. People with kids left earlier, and every couple had one designated driver who didn't think they were missing out on drinking anyways.

As an adult, if I want more of an intense party experience, I have to go clubbing.

I just don't have drinking friends any more, and I don't drink anymore.
