Well, this is a good example Catxx - what I would do here is decide between one or the other. You can go off plan, and eat and drink what you feel like, not count the syns, and most importantly not feel guilty and just enjoy yourself. Then get back on plan right away the next day.
Alternatively, you can proactively choose to limit yourself to the flexisyns - a bottle of wine is about 26 syns, sticking to boiled rice instead of fried is free, look up the menu for the place you are going and try and get as much information as possible about the content and make wise choices around your food. You can probably get a rough idea from the syn values online or the eating out guides. Then allow yourself a good portion of flexisyns, remember this can be as many as you choose, even if its a lot, then add on the extras you save over the week, or subtract them if you are feeling particularly virtuous from the total - and stick to the flexisynning method.
Personally, I would go for the former method, because a bottle of wine or so in, you will lose count and stop caring how many syns is in anything. It is a one off.
But its up to you.
