Descend into drunkenness and crap jokes

Reminds me of a story about Stravinsky, the great 20th century composer. Not a family party, but the White house held a big party in his honor, a very formal affair with President Kennedy, Leonard Bernstein, and a crowd of similar luminaries. Stravinsky, who once said to a visiting friend "Let's listen to my Mass before we get drunk", apparently thought the party was a little too formal, as he proceeded to get drunk and had to be taken away early. It was his 80th birthday.
