Try NOT to go hungry to the party, eat before you head out, that way you don’t eat a lot of the high calorie foods; make sure you have food in your stomach before you start drinking; I highly suggest drinking a full glass of water every hour when consuming alcohol; watch out for those Hors d’oeuvres; go easy on the fried foods; get plenty of rest at night before all of the parties. Eat less bread, less cakes, less cookies, less candies and less pasta.  Exercise*Exercise*Exercise!!!!!!
