And the tip I give to fellow alcoholics if they're stuck going somewhere that alcohol may be served - have a glass/cup of something else in your hand and it's much less likely anything alcoholics will be offered to you. I'm big on coffee, usually say that I could really use a cup of coffee and nobody asks any questions. And it also helps if you bring a friend/advocate for support. I learned the latter when I first got sober.
