Told my girlfriend earlier that I won't be drinking at her sister's 40th on Saturday because basically I am so sick and tired of either her mother, her brother or our brother in law getting drunk and kicking off with each other or all and sundry. I just feel so uncomfortable around her family at social gatherings so it easier to stay sober and drive then I can make a quick getaway if needs be. She responded that I should have a drink and get a taxi home so I don't want to leave early. My response that it wasn't a lack of beer that made me want to leave it was usually boredom because her family get togethers drag on for hours wasn't a popular one.
