What is the proper way to achieve some modest fitness goals while maintaining a decent weekend social life?

I'm not an ultimate drink snob, but light beer is a waste of time purely based on taste.

What is a good way to not to erase too many gains while socializing? Or do I need to just own up to drinking and fitness do not mix?

Are any of the following less damaging than the other:

1). Switch to more wine, but im not sure this would be "more healthy" because of the sugar content.

2). Just have 1-2 heavy beers (10-12%)

3). Have 1-2 splashes of choice liquor or in cocktail fashion.

What is your routine when trying to stick to your goals?
