Or, I'd just carry a packet of posters and 5-$20's with me wherever I went as a "threat" to myself. I could go in and buy but the rule would be I had to also give them the picture poster and an "extra" $20. I'd be too embarrassed?

I've made a fool of myself several times and was the running joke at the company I worked at for 8+ years. But, I only drank too much the first 2-3 years worth of parties! I got a whole lot of embarrassing pictures, memories, and stories going around and that worked fine for all the parties afterwards, the rest of my "career" there. I made sure I had rides the first couple years and then drove myself which also meant I couldn't drink too much. It worked. Now I have my husband who doesn't drink nearly as much as I will/can if allowed so that puts limits on me also. I know I married him for something :-)
