Afflicted with reason
I was in bed when the clock struck 12, so to speak. My wife and I listened to the fireworks that the neighbors were shooting. Huzzah.

n.m.s.s.
I'm not. I didn't drink as much as I thought I might, mostly because I drove and a 5am Uber didn't sound too fun. My partner was very drunk and very stoned though so I am guessing this morning is a bit tougher for them given the former. I probably could have drank more. It was a very strong beer (18%) but just the one and I spread it out over a long time. But I had fun. I just was wary about driving and didn't know how long an Uber would take at that hour and also the roads are a total mess so I trusted myself more.

Not.
I have some champagne but forgot to open it.

A day like any other day.

Sommerswerd asked me to change this
I went to a party my friend's brother threw. A lot of people there I did not know, but when I first opened the door and walked inside a girl started talking to me in Polish. Turns out she wasn't even born in Poland and has a husband, but it surprised me because I had been under the impression that I would be the only Polish person present.
It was a good party. We played games and drank. Board games even. Downstairs there were instruments set up and people jammed and played Pearl Jam, Weezer, etc. There were enough musicians in the house to form several bands, and the covers they played were actually pretty good. Upstairs it sounded really good coming in muffled through the floor, like we were at an actual club with live music or something.
It was a BYOB type party, so I brought some strong beers and a bottle of Żubrówka. After informing some present about the ancient Polish tradition of doing shots for NYE, we gathered around the bottle and finished it off in a couple seconds. There were a couple shots left over, as I apparently miscalculated something somewhere, so instead of 1 shot I ended up finishing up the night with 4. Can't just leave unused Żubrówka shots sitting around, and at the time I felt that it was the honourable thing to do
So now I'm hungover
Our midnight countdown was almost a big failure, too. For some reason the station we were on was claiming that it was 9pm. Everybody present was too drunk to figure out how to find a better station. And so we're all in the livingroom and somebody says "Hey I think it's close to midnight!", and as everybody's starting to check the actual time, I start the countdown. It was supposed to be a sarcastic countdown that doesn't end in anything, but somehow I actually managed to start the countdown at the exact right time. Yep, turns out it was actually 10 seconds to midnight or so when I yelled out "TEN!". So then everybody joined in and continued counting down to 0. It was the best timed countdown I've ever initiated, and I didn't even mean it.

Fireworks were way too loud. I live in a meadow next to city and nearby inhabitants were way too happy to use said meadow as a launch base.
I drank hot black berry drink so I'm sober.

keeping it real
I rarely drink and when I do its well before I go to sleep and followed by plenty of water so no, not hung over.

I was pretty drunk, but I slept it off. I haven't had a real hangover in a long time. Combination of increased tolerance and knowledge of my limits.
I had like 2 glasses of wine, 8 shots and 3 glasses of Champagne, and actually felt/feel pretty good. Which I only partially understand, since this is more than I ususally do. But it might have something to do with the pork roast, duck breast, lots of appetizer and a raspberry cake beforehand.
The neighbours of my friend must have invested the whole christmas gratification into fireworks. Was a ton of it, and some if looked really, really good. We didn't manage to go out to somewhere, mostly because I couldn't move the people, but I still enjoyed it

I had some whiskey and champagne. I'm not hung over.
We went hiking up a mountain in the morning and then cleaned the apartment so we didn't feel like going out. At midnight we flipped the TV onto a local channel to watch the ball drop in LA but it turns out they don't actually show that on the OTV stations here. They showed the ball drop live in NYC at 9pm but not the ball dropping in LA at midnight. Very odd
Had a fun day/night though

I had a 25cl bottle of 2.5% beer-like something or other.
And no, I don't have a hangover.
But it was honestly as much as I wanted to drink. I just can't take alcohol these days.
Which is a big, big shame, as I really used to enjoy quaffing quantities of beer.
Not drinking much is a lot cheaper though.

I lived in LA for decades and never heard of a ball dropping there. I don't even know where they'd drop it from.

Oh wow I just assumed they would make a big platform and drop a ball from it. I didn't know they didn't do a ball drop at all. 
I had hurt my back this time last year and was too zonked out on meds to notice the world outside my apartment. Last year was my first full-time year here.

I had two big parties- Saturday was a neighborhood walking dinner party where we congregate at someones house, the host provide appetizers/small plates and wine and we stay about 45 mins to an hour before walking 50 ft to next person's house. In all we had about 12 couples attend and visited 5 houses. I really held back though, since the party was a bit of a marathon from 6pm to 1am, and I get sleepy when I drink. I also hate wine, awful hangovers, bad acid reflux reaction to it, so I drank beer. Only 5-6 over that time period so hardly drunk by the end and not hungover at all the next day, just tired.
Sunday we did the kids included new years party, again at 6, about 7 couples plus kids, taco bar, party games (like cards against humanity, euchre), mario kart, watched dick clark's show. Didn't drink a lot at that one either.
I actually tend to drink faster on my own, like 3-4 beers during a movie on a weeknight and I'll feel a lot more buzzed. Social drinking I spread drinks out more or I just want to sleep.

For New Years, we spent a few days with friends in Scotland. We had about 25 people in total for New Year's Eve itself. It was a very nice party.
I don't drink, so no hangover for me, just a bit of a sore throat from smoking too many ciggies while chatting. Hubby was a bit worse for wear the next day.

Since I transitioned to liquor almost excursively I don't get hangovers that much anymore. I really have to step on it to be useless the next day.
