After getting my CHL I either only have a couple beers (not much at all for me over the course of a meal) or I plan ahead and keep the gun locked up in the vehicle or at home.
I will just give my wife my gun - she can be the DC (designated carrier). That's the bonus of having your wife licensed.

For me, it's the other way around. She will sometimes have a glass of wine with dinner, while I rarely ever drink, even at home. So when we're out, I'm the "designated shooter."
