 a budget for drinking. Nothing caps it like limiting the amount that
you can spend on it. 2\. Have your socializing focus on activities as opposed
to drinking. E.G. If you are bowling you'll be more focused on the game and
than you are on the drinking. 3\. Drink a glass of water in between each
drink. Double bonus for reducing hangover effects 4\. Buy a breathalizer. Yep!
A weird one but you can keep the BAC below the driving limit and you'll be
pleasantly surprised. 5\. Change locations often, and walk in between
locations. First this is great for getting quality time with your friends.
Second, you can use this trick to save money (happy hour in one place, dinner
in another). Third, there will be prolonged periods of time between each
location that you will not be drinking.

Sounds like you could also benefit from just imbibing drinks that are limited
in alcohol content. Session Beers, Campari spritz, some sakes etc.

What if your workplace is part facilitator? Many a startup's fridges are full
of beers and other alcohol in full view. Which, I think makes both 1 and 2 a
challenge.

For 3, i feel like drinking a glass of water in between drinks, though a good
though, only eggs you on to drink more drinks since you know you are
countering it at each turn.

This is just a personal anecdote, but after taking Ecstasy/MDMA once around 9
months ago i realised how bad the alcoholic "high" is. Since then i have been
drinking way less. Often only one or two beers, then i'm done. I guess what im
trying to say is to reflect over who you become and how alcohol affects your
personality, temperament and motoric skills when drinking alcohol excessively.
Knowing i will become bad at speech, get bad motorics, and start focusing more
and more on sex, and will start behaving like a cave-man towards women and men
alike makes me think of alcohol in a totally separate light than before.

 This is barely a personal anecdote, but after taking Ecstasy / MDMA once around 9 
 months ago i recognize how bad the alcoholic " high " is. Since then i have been 
 drinking way less. Often only one or two beers, then i'm done. I estimate what i m 
 trying to pronounce is to reflect over who you become and how alcohol affects your 
 personality, disposition and motoric skills when drinking alcohol excessively.
