I make sure I have a drink in my hand too. I have never stopped drinking, that would kill me. I only stopped drinking alcohol. If I go to the supermarket there are literally hundreds of soft drinks, juices, drink mixes, fresh fruits for smoothies and squeezing. Find some especially enticing for you and that you would normally not splurge on. Lots of them are too many calories for everyday anyway. Like a particularly expensive fruit or drink or imported tea or water? I'd bet ounce for ounce it/they are cheaper than imported and/or fine alcohol.
I like tall drinks and use a Tervis 24 oz for mine or a large tumbler.
Good luck tonight. I am not so worried that you will drink as you might start making yourself more stressed than needed to resist. Have fun and when or if you aren't, do the same as when you were drinking and they ran out of booze, leave the party.
