The best advice is to not drink any alcohol at all if you are going to be the driver because alcohol absorption is relatively fast and impairment can begin within about 15 minutes. Because she weighs 120 pounds and will be there for 2 hours, she will most likely be able to have about two drinks, at most. She might try eating some food with her drinks as this can dilute the alcohol and slow its absorption. She should also avoid carbonated drinks because they increase the rate of alcohol absorption.
