this one taught me a lesson....and i wasn't driving that day.
two years ago i got a new coat on the day of the holiday party, being winter here, i wore it. i gave my coat to one of my friends husband to hang up in the unattended coat room. i had a glass of wine during cocktail hour. i had a glass of wine with dinner. i rarely drink and ( now never ) during the workweek, so i was tipsy after dinner. when it came time to get my coat to go home, i couldn't remember exactly what my new, almost virgin coat looked like. i knew it was cloth, i knew it was navy blue, and that was all i could recall. i spent 20 minutes in the coat room, looking for my coat. so, limit your alcohol at the company party.
