I'm still talking to everybody.

And what I've also realized, so my daughter's bat mitzvah was just this Saturday.

And my Gigi, my grandma, Winkle, she was famously sober for many years, but she's always like, Marie, it's fine.

As long as you start out sober with everybody, you'll just feel as drunk as everybody else by the end of the night.

She's like, you just can't go into it.

That's right.

So even by the end of the night, I'm now seeing that more and more.

I'm getting more validation that that's the case.

Yes.

And it loosens my grip on feeling like I'm supposed to participate in that way because I feel like, oh, I'm still bringing every bit as much as I was bringing to the table as I was before.

More so.

And I get to wake up and remember it and, like, have more fun and feel great the next day.

Like when people get really super wasted?

Mm-hmm.

It just depends.

Not with my family.

I still like it because my brain is myelinated to know these people so well at this stage of drunkenness, too, that I just fall right into some of the same conversations that we still need to have many, many years later.

It doesn't annoy me that much.

It definitely annoys me sometimes when people are a little too drunk.

But then they just go to bed, and that's why they're disappointed.
