For me it's also a health thing. Not that drinking is THE EPITOME OF HEALTH but I'd so much rather drink a simple mixed drink, or a beer, or a glass of wine, rather than something loaded down with 90,000g of sugar. (Note: sugary drinks also knock my pseudo-diabetic ass out, not in the drunk way either. You'll note the chocolate martinis at Ohayocon, while sweet, were made with alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, and ...booze.)
And your James Bond-themed party may have seriously just become the theme to our usual epic summer party. We've been looking for an idea that was better than "cross dressing" (where by better i mean more people would actually do it). (To which you and Drak are both invited, of course. Come meet my cat!!)
I tend to do the same thing, at least online. In real life I find it pretty hard to talk about myself (which is funny! BECAUSE I WON'T SHUT UP ON THE INTERNETS) but with people online where you don't have the face-to-face thing it's often easier to connect by relating something of yourself.
