I went to a b-day party last night near the end of day 2. Besides the obvious torture of watching everyone eat tasty food, everyone that I knew was drinking. After about 2 hours, I was not able to enjoy much of the various conversations because I was sober (and hungry). My advise...postpone the cleanse until after the b-day. It's only a few days and you can use that time to "psych" yourself up.
