Of course I don't have to go, but I am friends with the person who is leaving and apparently it is her kind of place, so fair enough but not really for me, Clive. But I have to go as I usually make an effort for leaving dos, though I might bale out after an hour or so. I'm told they do 'two beers for one' which probably means two small bottles of Budweiser for £8.50
The answer to your conundrum is, I'm afraid, the obvious one. Neck two or three beers rapidly as soon as you arrive. A whisky chaser would not go amiss, either. In this way, within 30 minutes or so the iitial alcohol rush will convince you that you are having the greatest time evs, and you will engage in animated conversation with some boring numpty and absolutely love it.

An hour later you will feel fully pissed and nauseous BUT, so will everyone else, so you can sneak away.
