A light lunch at MacD's, coffee at Starbucks, then a few drinks with shabu-shabu - that's the way it went.

We'll have to organize the drinking party all over again as the section chief can't make it now.

Anyway, to get to what I wanted to ask you...it's about the party. Are you free Friday?

I got an invitation to a party tonight that I know would be a lot of fun but I have to be in my best form for tomorrow's meeting so I had to turn it down.

I already have something planned for Friday, so I won't be able to make it to the drinking session.

We usually go out for drinking parties.
