[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man here. I do these 1-2x a year. Yes, we drink plenty, probably because the people we see were from our 20s when we drank a lot with them. But it's not all drinking, and the random spontaneous conversations while in the car to the golf course or whatever are well worth it.

Now that we're all middle-aged, our recovery time takes a lot longer, and we're just coming to realize that. On my next trip, which is to Europe, I'll leave our destination on a Sunday afternoon (no way I'm waking up early after a big Saturday nigth final dinner), then fly to Frankfurt and stay at the airport hotel there, and catch the flight back to DC the next morning. That gives me Sunday evening to recover and catch up. Last time I did this, I had a 8am flight so I didn't even sleep that night -- just caught up on work the entire night, then slept on the flight back.

It's twice a year. It's beneficial to him and he enjoys it. [/quote]

Can't you just drink less? I really don't understand this insistence on drinking like you're still in your twenties. I have lots of fun spending time time with my friends even without getting hammered.

But I will say that using your trip back to recover is totally reasonable, unlike what OP's husband is doing. [/quote]

The first thing alcohol impairs is.. your judgment. Like the judgment that you should have another drink (also about eating a batch of White Castle sliders at 3am...). But it's also hard to say no to your friend buying around or having shots.[/quote]
