Good one guys. I have been thinking about it and I'm going to introduce a skill challange at the start of my next session. I'm not sure if you're all versed in the starter set for 5e but they gang is at Cragmore Castle and found the secret entrence and just snuck in and walloped the boss. Bit of a bummer, but I'm thinking that as the doppleganger escapes she could gather a troup of goblins, hoboglins and bug bears to chase after them. It'll be new for the group and hopefully get the spark in they're eyes so they can do more social stuff then they're finally at Thundertree. Taking the advice from above (get the combat and more grindy stuff out of the way first) I'm hoping that the sicoal side of things will be welcomed after an intence first hour.

Depending on how fast everyone ties one on you could so no drinking till X hours in or you could say something like 1 drink per hour till X. This is assuming you've had the adult conversation and people are on board to make a change.

Pretty much this, if it’s bothering you. State before game that you don’t want to be a fun sucker however if you feel things derail, you will call the table closed and drinking can continue. If you're not going to establish the GM "Loud Voice" early and often to at least wrangle the group into a good end point before drinking continues, you're going to consistently lose them at some unsatisfying point for everyone. So says the former Hackmaster GM whose gaming supply requirements were (a) dice (b) the GM Shield and (c) a half-keg of Guinness next to my seat.
