For me, my mood could even drop later that day/night, and last up to 3 days. If it's a long party, I'll ask a friend to share a beer with me twice (so my drink doesn't get warm or flat).
Hope that helps

I've thought about limiting myself to one drink, but at that point, it's not even worth it. One drink over an hour won't even get me tipsy! A one drink limit is just temptation, but I might be able to stick with 2.

At the last party (prior this weekend, that is) I stopped with 2 drinks and switched to seltzer water with cranberry juice. It looks like an adult beverage and tastes good enough to keep sipping, so that worked pretty well. I suspect I'll be doing more of that in the future.
