Go out in groups and make a plan about getting home
Decide the number of drinks you will have prior to drinking-stick to it-count number of drinks-spread them out over the evening!
Space drinks to one or less per hour
Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks & drink plenty of water
Agree before you go out who will be the sober driver
Watch your friends-if you came together and want to leave make sure they have a plan to get home safely
Avoid drinking games
Always eat before and during alcohol consumption
Remember: Women are more sensitive to the effects of alcohol
Pour your own drinks-don't share with others or set yours down
Just because someone is in your class doesn't mean you know them as well as you think you may-think about the situation... make clear decisions...
Have a designated driver.
Never drink and drive.
Never ride with someone who has been drinking or using drugs.
Use Traveller or a sober driver at a fraternity party.
Say "No Thanks," if you don't want to continue drinking or just hold a cup with a non-alcoholic beverage.
Participate in activities like dancing, talking, and eating to take the focus off alcohol
How to "Throw" a Party and Treat Your Guests to a Safe Times
Get your noise permit and be able to socialize until midnight vs. 11pm
Remember to keep the noise level down
Collect keys at the door
You, as the host, are responsible for keeping your guests' safety. You may be liable if anyone is injured.
Do not allow an intoxicated person to continue to consume alcoholic beverages
Serve plenty of high-protein, non-salty food like cheese and meat---these foods stay in the stomach longer, slowing down the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream
Provide non-alcoholic beverages
Stop serving alcohol about 1 hour before the party is over
Have impaired friends spend the night or find your guests rides.
