It sounds like you might just have the classic fear of gaining back the weight you've lost. Very common for someone that has successfully lost a decent amount. The problem with this can also prevent you from putting on quality muscle mass; as any gain in weight freaks you out and you may refrain from eating what is needed to build muscle or skip meals altogether- fairly unhealthy habit from a physical and mental perspective.
A vacation or summer with booze and junk food is undoubtedly going to lead to a minor bump up in body fat- my thoughts are so what? Life is too short to completely boycott the foods and drinks you enjoy.. The good thing is you know how to successfully lose weight and can have a bit of a goal to work towards after a summer of being relaxed with the diet... the latter part being why I agree with ACGold in many ways with regards to the scale- if the scale leads you to any type of behavior that resembles an eating disorder, then chuck it.
