It's not as though I'm drinking during the day or alone. It's just the 1-3 times a week I meet people for drinks that makes it impossible to lose weight.

I think you will have to bite the bullet and order water or diet pop when you do your outings. Social situations are tough for sure. I remember when I quit smoking and I would meet up with my buddies for coffee every week and all of them would go out for a dart every half an hour or so. I just kept reminding myself how much healthier and grateful I will be down the road I didn't cave and I am.
