So sorry you had to miss Burns Night, but I'm glad you had pleasant company, a good film, and appropriate things to eat and drink.

It was a very nice evening.

Whisky/whiskey can be even more soothing than tea, sometimes.

It didn't hurt me. I didn't even give myself inadvertent alcohol poisoning, which impressed me in retrospect when I finally looked up how many ounces in a shot versus the glass I'd drunk.
