I agree w/Crankin -- As an adult, I don't see the attraction of dressing in a costume and drinking, but that's just me. To me, it's like forcing a dog to wear a costume---it's undignified! [please note the winky/smiley and don't flame me]
I'm not a die hard Halloween fan, but I do enjoy it. I love to dress up and interact with others at parties when opportunity arises. Maybe I'm still a kid? Maybe it's a throwback to living near Salem, MA? Honestly, the best Halloween's I've ever had were the couple of years that I was dating a guy who lived there. That town takes Halloween VERY seriously! It's like they live all year for it. The decorations go up on Labor Day...no joke. They do it all out - haunted cemetaries and buildings, ghost tours, huge costumed balls, bonfires, you name it... Of course, the town has such a haunted history that they are kind of just living up to their past! It's honestly a REALLY good time - alcohol totally not necessary.
