It doesn't knock you out of ketosis because the body will convert the alcohol to keotenes. It is much easier to convert alcohol then fat, so your body will do that instead. If you eat quite a bit, the body will store it as fat to use later when the alcohol is burned. On another thread someone discussed how the fat can be stored in the liver and build up with regular drinking.

I found I used to really love a vodka with crystal lite. Now it would be way way too sweet. You can get splenda sweetened margarita mix as well. Depending on wher eyou go and how accomidating they are, they may use something you bring in as a mix. Local health laws may have seomthing to do with it, not sure.

Just be careful of Rums. Regular rum such as bacardi 151 is 0 carb. Many of the spiced and flavored rums though from bacardi and capt. Morgan contain up to 10g net per oz. Do a search on here. Someone emailed the companies and got carb counts for the products.

Some wine is lower carb, if you get a dry one. Also red wine can have benifits. If you can get buzzed off 1-2 glasses it may not be to bad. If you have to drink a bottle or two, then maybe don't try to just be a wine drunk You're resistance may lower enough on LC that a couple glasses does it.
