If a small amount of alcohol is drunk, you can "feel your way". See what it feels like. Sometimes a little alcohol is OK, and at other times it's not. The only way to really tell, unless you abstain totally as a matter of principle, is to feel your way through one drink.
Your inner sense will tell you if it's OK or a bad idea. If half way through that drink you start to feel anything untoward, don't worry. Just set it down, and order a sparkling water instead. Put a slice of lemon in it, and no-one will pressure you! They will think you're on Gin and tonic!
Or you can go the whole way and tell folks you're on a detox!

Also it only takes 4 hours for the liver to process a small amount of alcohol. If plenty of water is drunk, it will cause no problem.
