Plan ahead
- Have a plan before your drinking occasion. That makes decisions easier to make in the moment.
- 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.
- 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.
