Pick a side - drink in the day, or drink in the evening. I never do both - those nights end up messy! I'm not a fan of the TTR shots either. Even without the alcohol I don't really like the sickly sweetness. I stick to soft drinks in the early part of the day, and take a break 4pm - 7pm for dinner. After that, some nights I'll go all out and hit the drinks hard, other nights I'll sit with one or two rest of the evening. Pacing is very important!
