Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I was recently at a rather fancy wedding recently. The central group was the friends and family of the bride and groom and then there were a large number of affiliates (business partners and a few direct relatives of business partners like me). Id say around 100 attendees. And there was a bar in the room before the dinning room and also a bar in the dinning room. All drinks were free.
I’m wondering what kind of drinks I am supposed to order before the dinner and after the dinner.
For example, I had some white russians before the dinner. Is it bad to order white russians before dinner?
