Ready to party? Here are some tips to ensure a fun and safe night out!
Pre-Party:
- Make sure to eat a full meal and drink water
- Set a drinking limit for the night
- Plan ahead to ensure you have a safe ride home (if necessary)
At the Party:
- Pace yourself while drinking, and make sure to alternate between alcoholic beverages and water to avoid a hangover
- Try to stick to drinking only one type of alcohol
- Avoid drinking pre-made drinks like jungle juice - it's hard to gauge how much alcohol has been mixed into these drinks, so you won't really know how much you've had
- Always keep an eye on your drink and your friends
- Always respect people's decisions if they choose not to drink
Post-Party:
- Make sure you have a safe way to get back home
- Leave the party with the people you arrived with
- Drink water to reduce your chances of getting a hangover
