<human>: I (23/F) ditched my friend (22/F) too many times last week, and agreed to drink with her tomorrow night to make up for it. I have to get up somewhat early the next morning however, and really don't want to get that drunk. She is expecting us to split a 26 of rum, get wasted and have a good time. I don't want to disappoint her, considering that's all I've done in the past week. I want to know how I could manage to drink about a mickey without getting absolutely hammered, possibly not that drunk at all (I want it to wear off in about 4 hours time.) What foods should I eat beforehand? How much water should I drink? Are there any methods that would work so that the alcohol gets "blocked" a bit from entering my bloodstream?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Don't want to get too drunk, what do I eat/drink/do before I start drinking to make sure I won't?
