Boy has my life changed... It was just a few years ago that I was putin a half gallon of southern comfort away single handedly in a weekend, blowin entire paychecks on house partys...
Those were the good 'ole days... 
You could look at it like this...
You're not getting drunk, instead you are putting the lives of young children before your own, therefore being completely selfless. I find that quite heroic actually.
I don't think I'll ever understand why people put more emphasis on getting drunk and having friends over than seeing the bright face (though sometimes it's not so bright) of a child running around a corner and seeing their eyes light up at the site of dad. I just don't see how a house party compared to that joy of a child compares.
