Recommendations for a multi-hour sipper?

Hey! I like to drink on weekends, usually while I’m watching a show or gaming or something. The way I enjoy drinks tends to be over the course of multiple hours, (eg if I get home at 9 pm, I like to be sipping something until maybe like 1 AM), so longer sessions. A 6-pack of beer used to be perfect for this but I’m finding these days the negatives outweigh the positives. I end up feeling super bloated, the hangovers suck, and I’m not a fan of having to get up and go piss every 40 minutes.

I switched to vodka and just made seltzer cocktails with it but I found that hard liquor is too strong to be a drink for lengthy sessions. I’m only looking to keep up a nice buzz and maybe get somewhat drunk but not trashed.

Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations of a drink that fits these needs? I want something that’s not beer or a canned cocktail that I can drink for multiple hours without getting completely trashed.
