Parties make me feel like an alien in a person suit – and drinking to survive them didn’t help

By Gareth McLean

After one too many humiliations, I turned down the invitations, gave up the booze and learned to accept myself

I’m not entirely sure when I decided I should stop going to parties. To eschew dos, drinks things, screenings, soirees and shindigs. It might have been the time, at a fancy dress party, that I found myself telling a complete stranger how, when I was wearing a costume like theirs, I wet myself after underestimating the time to take off the outfit. (A straitjacket, if you’re interested.)

Or it might have been the time I actually wet myself.
