    To be honest, I don't bother. I have something stodgy before I go out like a sandwich, and then just don't think about it. BUT I always have a pint of water when I get in and a banana - swear by it for a hangover. More water if you want it.

    Also, high five for being Scottish :drinker:

    Like others have said, keep the mixes low cal. Soda water or diet coke if you plan to have rum and cokes. Will you be dancing while out? You'll burn some extra cals doing that as well.

    Just try enjoy yourself. =)

    That sounds like a good calorie amount to me. I'm also a lightweight, but I also don't like getting drunk. I'll leave it with a buzz, which often means two over the course of a whole party. I figure that's 300-400 cals for the drinks and 200 for snacks. It is easy to snack more than you meant to though! I'll usually eat something high in protein or fiber before I go out so I don't have the urge to chow down.

    Woah I totally forgot about this!

    Okay weeell I don't know if 625 was enough or not...the morning after I weighed myself and I lost weight. But I kinda ruined that by binging afterwards and most of today >.> anyhow at the party I ended up with a little, maybe 1/3 bottle of smirnoff ice, shot of JD, vodka blue mixed with chocolate cake (it sounded like a good idea at the time, to use vodka blue as a dip) and maybe 1/3-1/2 can of beer.

    I spaced the drinks out over time and stopped drinking 1 hour before being picked up. Most of the time I was looking after my friends because one of them passed out and started vomiting everywhere and the other kept trying to runaway with the sheesha pipe...lol I should get the best friend award!

    It was a pretty awesome party :P thank you everyone for the advice and suggestions! I can tell they will all come in handy in the future.

    I drink at home. Alone. In the dark. Listening to Charlie Parker.

    :laugh:

    Oh god the dreaded handover munchies. Those are the wort for me. I will do fine on staying in my calories while drinking and not having anything extra to eat but the next day has the potential to be a nightmare.
