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.
