Default My biggest weakness - Alcohol!

I've been working out and eating healthier for about 2 1/2 months now.
I lift weights 3 times a week, do cardio 2/3 times per week, and I've
seen some pretty good results so far. I've only lost a few pounds,
but I can see a definite change in the mirror and in my waist size.
My bf% was 18% when I started, I plan on getting remeasured in two
weeks. (Guessing around 15% now)

During the week I eat 6 meals a day, not nearly as strict as some
here, but quite an improvement over what I ate before. The problem
is, when the weekend comes around all that healthy stuff goes out the
door. Pretty much every Friday and Saturday night I go out and get
wasted, I'd say at least 12 drinks each night. (I'm 25 and single) I
also tend to eat unhealthy things like pizza and fast food on the
weekends, whereas during the week I have been avoiding it. In
addition I'll go out one or two week nights and have a few drinks
(2-5), but not a lot.

My question is, will this lifestyle prevent me from reaching my goal
of 10% bf? I continue to make progress, but I'm wondering if I'm
basically undoing all my hard work on weekends. I've been tracking my
calories on Fitday, and I can see the amount of empty calories from
alcohol I'm consuming, which is a bit alarming. I doubt I could give
up my social life, but I'd like to hear some opinions and others'
stories.
