Ahh restaurants - I admire you, I don't think I could do restaurant work. Way too demanding for me. I think my mother back home went to a restaurant with the few people that get together in my family though, because cooking a big meal for 3 people is a waste of effort to them; cooking big meals is fun though!
Ha, yeah, alcohol + work never ends well. I always have my cutoff - "after _PM I am not going to do any more work because wine is happening." I'm a lightweight too so one glass and I'm too gone to pay attention and work anymore anyway, I just want to order pizza and watch Netflix (because I'm a huge partier, obviously).
