I just spent a couple days in Stamford and tried to drink the tap water … grateful to be back.

If you’re going to a wedding, go to the wedding- I definitely do not recommend visiting Boston and trying to travel to Salem for more than one single event over the course of three days. Just a wedding might be fine if you have a car and the weather cooperates, but you’ll spend a miserable amount of your trip driving if there are also rehearsal events or post-wedding lunches or quick visits with family at their hotels or anything like that.

I never drink at Legacy, the hopping-est of the local gay clubs (though, to be fair, I am also never sober), and I don’t feel like anybody’s looking askance. Plenty of people don’t drink alcohol for various reasons and nobody’a gonna care to wonder why you specifically aren’t. Ask for a sparkling water with lime at the bar so you have something in your hand and if the bartender doesn’t charge you (50/50 shot in my experience) make sure to leave a couple bucks for him anyway (especially if it’s Rob, who is a literal angel).
