Not drinking works only as far as you avoid ANY public places.
Three years ago, I was on antibiotics and spent the New Year's Eve at the center of Prague, had a dinner and did about 11 or12 alcohol free beers that evening in two or three bars. I had to leave early, before the midnight, because it was totally unwearable.
The problem is that the New Year's Eve is a signal for EVERYONE to have fun, including people who should rather not try to have fun or / and can't handle their drink at the same time.
