Christmas Spirit

Jason's group had their 'Christmas Do' as its called here, last night. With budget cuts, it was on everyone's own pocket this year, so that meant spouses (me) could go as well. It was at a vodka bar in Cambridge-finger food and drinks.

Jason chipped in and bought 5 pints of beer, 20 shots, 8 bottles of wine and 4 jugs of cocktails. A few guys started in on some alcohol before arriving at the bar and were well on their way. The food went fast, but the booze went faster and before long another 10 bottles of wine and several rounds of shots came and went. Since Jason is the boss, he was given the honor of at least 3-4 shots and the wife of the boss has a few as well.

Someone wore a red sparkly boa to the party and it made its rounds, we all danced with embarassing abandon.

So total booze count: 10+ pints of beer, 30+ shots of vodka in various flavors, 18 bottles of wine, 6 jugs of cocktails (one with double alcohol). And how many people? Thirty at the most.

Home by 2, up at 7 and way too old to drink that much any more.
