Is it like Christmas? Growing up in Ireland Christmas was always a huge piss up and the day after Christmas was the biggest night out b/c the bars were closed on Christmas day! that may be different now though, IDK. We don't celebrate thanksgiving there obviously.
I was thinking b/c of the whole midnight shopping thing. Or even 5am shopping. It always seems so at odds with a holiday to me. Even though I don't even drink anymore.
eta: I edited the poll b/c it doesn't really make sense to answer for your whole family. I guess I just mean 'in general' but changed it to you.

Re: Does your family drink a lot on Thanksgiving?
There was soda, tea and water for everyone and 1 bottle of wine my sister drank most of by herself. She is the only one who drinks. My mom sometimes will try a glass but she never really sat down much yesterday until after all the family left.

Yes,m we drink as does our family. We went through 5 bottles of champagne alone yesterday.
The shopping - remember, not everyone does that! No one in our crew went out shopping last night or today.

no, we just eat :P
seriously, it must be traces of the old world because my irish side of the family thinks holidays=celebratory drinks. it's not a drunken party but it's never too dry either. dh's family same thing come to think of it w/ more of a presence of wine.
If we go to DH's side of the family, all of their "celebrations" are dry. Now THAT is where I could use some booze.
