    I walked to the bar. Accepted a free pour of sparkling wine. Counted down to midnight. Sang Auld Lang Syne. Drank my free wine. Hugged some strangers. Threw $5 in the tip jar. Walked home watching fireworks.

    It’s a pretty fun holiday if you do it like me.

    The last time I went to a bar on New Year Eve, I paid 20 bucks to get in, bought my first drink and started goofy dancing to a song that came on the radio. Then I got thrown out for being intoxicated.

        They had live music and between the sets they switched it to “whatever” on the radio so it wasn’t quiet.

    Always surprising to me that people still do this. It’s always a scam and everyone goes home just slightly pissed off.

      In my younger years I partied wild and even hosted parties with hundreds of guests (rented facilities).

      Since my 40s I stay at home and go to bed at 10 pm latest.

        My wife and I threw a 40th birthday party for me and that’s it. That was nearly 5 years ago now and we’re probably never hosting a party ever again lmao.

      Some people enjoy pay all of their money to play cards, too.

      And others pay money to gain cancer.

      Like imagine getting cancer treatment in a hospital and looking out the window and seeing someone smoking. Two people doing the exact opposite things.

        Some people pay money to enjoy their lives, and savour every moment, even if it means cutting the crap a little short.

        I don’t smoke, as the risk/reward isn’t worth it to me personally, but if it’s what it takes for others to be happy, all the power to em. Knock themselves out. Literally heh.

        I’d rather live 50-60yrs to their fullest, than live 80-90 mediocre years inside watching the latest Netflix crap or tv repeats (not to say there aren’t times when I enjoy it).

    There comes a certain age where if someone invites you to a New Year’s Eve party you’re just furious with them.

        I’m working this year, but the wife lucked out hard. She got invited to a house party, then today her friend called and said everyone except the two people hosting are sick, so it’d just be the three of em.
