- Drink your drink slowly. You'll enjoy it more.
- Avoid shots as it is difficult to calculate how much you drink.
- Choose a juice or a soft drink. You don't have to drink alcohol if you don't want to.
- Try to avoid rounds of treats. They will be an opportunity for you to drink more so that everyone can "reciprocate."
- Good company makes a good night, not alcohol. The party won't be ruined if you drink something that doesn't contain alcohol.
- Determine the driver of the evening that will NOT consume alcohol - so you will all return home safely.
