Really. I am serious. I'd like some answers to this question. Most of my New Year's Eve experiences have been close to awful. Maybe it is just me. Maybe I am the lone person who thinks that going out on New Year's Eve is totally bogus.
If you go out on New Year's Eve, you have to deal with insanely priced events and $10 drinks only to dodge and weave your way through obnoxious drunk assholes all night. When you're ready to go home on New Year's Eve you can't drive home even if you had one drink 3 hours earlier because the risk of getting pulled over is too damn high and the wait on cabs is usually terminal. Going to a party, or even over to a friend's house for dinner, poses the exact same transportation dilemma and means that you'll be trying not to get hit by drunk drivers the whole way home. If you choose to forgo the drive home and stay in a hotel, you spend all night wishing you were dead since you can't sleep through the nasty part of your drunkeness because the aforementioned drunk assholes are running up and down the halls, slamming doors and just in general being drunk assholes. Basically New Year's is good for one thing and one thing only. Kissing. If you're single and you're looking to get some action, then New Year's Eve is the ticket. Go to a party where you're surrounded by extremely hot members of the opposite sex and then weigh your options. Decide who will be the lucky devil that gets to welcome in the new year by kissing you. But if you're married like me, really what is the point of going out for New Year's. I can stay home, save roughly $200, get my kiss 3 hours early and be in bed before the evening news. Just like ever other night.
So again I ask, what is so special about New Year's Eve?

I like to call New Year's Eve "Amateur Hour" because that's when all the novice drinkers that don't know how to handle their booze or themselves are out. We had a nice dinner and came home.
I"m with you here....we walked across the street...and then next door for awhile and then home. I was in bed by 12:05 I think.
