Karen, Despite the reassurance of "this is like Las Vegas, what is said here, stays here," please be careful, as I have painfully learned, when someone is willing to gossip about someone else, it is only a matter of time before they gossip about you. When you maintain high standards, you will find some women will fall away. Take that graciously, as the others who have high standards like you, will often be lifelong friends. There will be times of loneliness and isolation due to your high standards, but it will be worth it. Alcohol will loosen lips and women will say things that they regret. May I suggest to keep it to two drinks and to sip slowly. Also, what you hear goes in one ear and out the other. If outsiders ask about what was said in your gathering, play deaf, dumb and blind, saying whatever they are asking about was not discussed. This also goes for office parties! Monica
