Plan ahead
- By planning ahead before you drink during a night out, you can make sure that your drinking is moderate.
- Drinking to be ‘cool’ or to fit in is never a good reason. You can have just as much fun if you drink a little or not at all. Trust yourself.
- Make sure that you eat if you are drinking and that you keep yourself well hydrated with water or non-alcoholic beverages.
- Moderation and responsibility go hand in hand. If you are planning to drink, make sure you are not planning to drive. Even light drinking can impair your reaction time and how you make decisions, so make sure you arrange for alternative transportation.
