Using alcohol to get through the holidays?

Tweet

Is this something you do? At times, our families and close ones can be totally overbearing. Sometimes it helps me in particular to have a little buzz during these crazily stressful situations because it's easier to deal with everyone's high-strunged-selves when I have a little.. boost to me. *shrugs*. Does that make sense? (David Sedaris' book "Holidays on Ice" comes to mind..) Does anyone else experience this? Do you consider this to be normal?
