Being drunk and calling up your grandkid does not equal a social life. It's possible grams was being the life of a party but it's just as possible that she is a lonely alcoholic with nothing better to do.

YDI go get some friends

So you're actually jealous of your grandmother?? Sure, being alone in bed at New Year's is very sad, but so is being an immature drunkard. I pity the people who cannot have fun without getting drunk and doing something stupid.

Grannies gone wild! Woo!

I don't know why being awake and drunk means she is more social... This fml says nothing about her being at a party..

Older people can easily have more fun. Their kids are grown and out of the house, retired so they have more money to indulge in their hobbies and social life.

Don't feel bad, it happened to me, too. My mom drunk dialed me at 9pm (we have a 3 hour time difference) to wish me a Happy New Year, but I was in bed already. My husband had to be up at 4am for work, so no celebrating for us. There's always next year!

You don't need to go to a crazy party and get drunk to have a good new years.

exact same thing with me.

There's nothing wrong with drinking on New Years. As long as you are old enough and do it conservatively...
