Meditation has helped me, as well as exercise and just getting outside. Doesn't have to be any specific kind of meditation - the point is to calm your mind and get connected to what's going on around you. If you're like a lot of people, you drink to reduce the chatter in your head, and another good way to do that is to turn your attention outward instead of inward.
You're probably also used to having a drink in your hand, so you might also try herbal tea - we drink that on evenings when we don't drink wine.
