Skipping the annual family camping trip

For years, my wife's family has gotten together for a family camping weekend. It was a great excuse to get shitfaced every night. But I've been skipping it since I quit drinking a few years ago. Like I tell everyone, I hate camping, and the only thing that made it tolerable was the booze. And now that I'm sober, I especially hate it. So I'll be solo back at home from next Thursday through Monday!
