My secret - I tell people the time I want to leave, minus an hour. But I say "ish". So 7-ish. 8-ish.

The really respectful people will say goodbye and you can say, "I think I can stay a bit longer. I'm having so much fun." The party people will beg for you to stay a bit longer. And so you do and still can leave at a reasonable time.

Even events, I tell them I'm leaving early to "beat traffic".

Yup. I do that with pretty much every work outing. I live further away than most of my coworkers and I have kids, so I have a pretty good excuse. It has worked well so far. :)
