Fishguts, i give you a lot of credit for recognizing you COULDN'T" drink in moderation and putting  your LOVE of the canoe country ahead of your need to self medicate?
The reason i became a SOLOTRIPPER is because i had friends who couldn't do that and rather give up canoeing than drinking to excess!!
i'm with the drink after all is done crowd .
after supper is cooked,wood chopped and fire is made, i enjoy a couple of nightcaps before bed, unless i'm planning on staying up real late??
lucky for me, i have low tolerance for alcohol so before i get "drunk", i'm usually on my knees in front of the porcelain throne !!
When i was young and wild, i hated the fact that i couldn't keep up with my friends!!
Now, i'm glad i couldn't because there lifes revolve around booze and partying and that's not where i want to be !!
My choice at night is a few "irish" coffee's arounf the campfire

151 rum (or 190 proof "brandy"), lake water, and crystal light.  High percentage alcohol provides more calories per ounce of weight than dehydrated meat or carbs.

My favorite is the spiced apple cider with a shot of Jim Beam Black.  It is very good warm, but truely awful if it cools off.  I have one and a cigar most every evening after dinner or after coming in from fishing.  It is just a nice way to end the day.

Interesting topic, my wife and I were discussing a menu and what to have with the food. 
I like the spiced drink idea.  Previously I was a cognac person, nothing like a bit of VSOP to wind down with.  And sharing it with others was even better.  Can't wait for this trip with my best friend.

Well, I have always prefered Rumplemintz my self, straight up with a nice Boundry water chaser, but another favorite of mine is the ole vodka and Tang.  Screwdrivers are not just for breakfast anymore
