Not looking forward to weekend away

I am going on a stag do this weekend but I am really not looking forward it. It is in Madrid and all his mates and family are huge drinkers whereas I have grown out of that and I am really only going because 1. my dad doesn't drink any more so I will be keeping him company and 2. if I didn't go I know it would cause a huge argument.

The majority of the people are going Friday to Monday but we are going Friday and getting a flight back at 9am on Sunday morning so essentially will only be there for 36 hours. A few people have said because I am not looking forward to it I will probably end up having a really good trip but I am just really down and not looking forward to going.

Can anyone give me any tips to survive through the weekend? I have a young baby at home and this is the first time I will have left him overnight so I just know the whole time I am away I will be missing him and my girlfriend.

As others have said, you might actually end up enjoying it.
There have been quiie a few times that ive looked forward to stuff, but once ive got there, its actually been a good time.
Plus on the Saturday evening, you have the excuse of your flight back the following morning, so you can use that to not drink too much.
