Drinking and Drawing...

While the title is a little tounge in cheek, its serious business.

Where I live, if you get caught with your weapon after you've been drinking, the police are within their right (and duty bound by law) to confiscate your weapon, arrest you, and revoke your CCW permit...forever.

So if you decide that you are going to a friend's house (and they don't mind that you carry, be sure to ask) and they may have alcohol their either don't drink or leave your weapon locked in the car.

Also, since alcohol makes people do funny things, reduces inhibitions and can make some people down right mean, it is a good idea not to carry when you plan on having a drink.

These aren't legal opinions, I'm not a lawyer, these are just common sense steps that I plan on taking.
