retainers and drinking alcohol ?

Ive had my retainers in for about over 2 weeks.

and last saturday night, i was drinking alcohol and i left my retainers out for about 7 hours, cause i was worried of drinking with them in would ruin them, anyway i put them back in when i went sleep, and when i woke up i think one of my teeth have slightly moved.

i suppose to wear my retainers all day apart from eat,drink,swimming, and wear them all night.

and obviously i want to stick with that, and not ruin my teeth.

but in about 3 weeks time, were having a little party at our flat, and were drinking, so what should i do?

everytime i drink take them in and out? but would that get annoying?

all should i just leave them out when i drink, but make sure i put them back in when i go bed?

Thanks!

Update:

no i wasnt drinking for 7 hours straight,

in a space of 7 hours i was doing other things like eating takeaway & dancing.

i was just stating i left my retainers out for 7 hours!

    dont worry i used to wear retainers..... just keep wearing them when you ment to and in a couple of days your teeth will be back to the way they were

    Umm.. relies upon what shade the drink is. purely take them out..... better yet do no longer drink, you sound such as you're 12 or 13 for the shortcoming of analytical thinking that an grownup could do. no offense
