[CH] hotlucks and...well... booze

I've got to ask a question, and I'm hoping it won't come across tactless.
I'm not putting down anybody's drinking habits in the least, please
believe me, just asking for information in order to protect my own
personal recovery from alcoholism:
I've never been to a hotluck or similar chilehead gathering. Part of
that has been due to my health and
finances, but some of it, to be perfectly honest, has
been out of concern for how boozy I've heard some
of these occasions can get. As a recovering drunk,
I not only don't drink myself, I don't any longer enjoy being around
people who are gettin' seriously lubed; it just has too many memories
for me of some very wretched...with or without the "w"...years.
So I'd like to hear (backchannel, if you prefer) from fellow recovering
folks or other non- or minimal drinkers on the list: just how liquid
_does_ it get at the average hotluck? Are we talkin' two or three beers
here, or serious winebox-upending? :) I'd just like to know what I'm
getting into.
Keep on rockin',
Rain
