Drinking before and during dive - it is not a problem (when you drinks not too much). Problem is a fogging of the mask later.
And there is no one way how to elliminate this fogging.
After cold water dives I preffer to drink brandy with hot tea (not toghether, but one by one), just when I`m on a ground..
After warm water dives - natural water, and much later bear in the bar, when all things was finished (unweared, freshening equipment, puted equipment to dry, weared civil clothes)

We have tradition to celebrate NewYear underwater with Christmas tree.

And also drinking sparkling vine

Good traditions. No incidents (against some trash in the pool) I know before.

since alcohol is a vasodilator, wouldn't that improve off-gassing?

That's my excuse for cracking one after I've rinsed down the gear and hung it to dry. Almost the only time I drink Coke is just after the dive, since I find that it's pretty effective in rinsing out the salt water taste. Later, when the diving is over and I've done my chores, I really like to relax with a beer.

The other year I brought my dive gear on a trip to Nice. One morning dive, lunch at the marina, one afternoon dive. On the boat ride back to the marina, someone opened a couple of bottles of wine and passed around glasses. Since this was after the morning dive, I declined...
