Good to hear they treated you well and didn't push you. And yep I get you, why stop after a bottle? The whole idea of NY for me used to be that there were no limits, I could drink continuously as long as I wanted. NY day, I could drink at breakfast, to get rid of the hangover, and continue the drinking.
But most people can drink normally and stop when they want. We're not like them. Sorry.
2 January is almost over here in NZ. I had a zero alcohol beer for dinner. It was nice. Iwndwyt.
