Vodka waters, stay active/dancing/moving throughout the night, try not to drunk eat. I also tended to eat more low carb on the days that I went out drinking. The calories from alcohol can never be stored directly in your body as fat- because alcohol is a toxin, your body will neutralize it before processing other macronutrients (such as carbohydrates and fat eaten earlier in the day). Therefore, you should be more conscious of what you eat earlier in the day and while you're drinking. I drank heavily in college and never had any issue with weight gain from alcohol.
Here's an article that my friend showed me a while back:
