TO DRINK OR NOT TO DRINK?
|
|
|
 |
| The basic choice
is, of course, to drink or not to drink. Not drinking is always
a low-risk choice. But if you do choose to use alcohol, here
are some tips to keep your risk of impairment as low as possible |
 Eat
before you drink. The food will help soften the blow by
absorbing some of the alcohol. |
| Don't
try to quench your thirst with alcoholic drinks; this
only makes you thirstier. Plain old water is best when
you're really thirsty. |
|
 |
|
| Sip,
don't gulp. If you're male, you'll look cool. If you're a woman, you'll
look refined. And no matter who you are, you'll probably feel better
the next morning. |
| Choose
drinks with food-based mixers such as vegetable and fruit juices,
which lower the risk of impairment; water or carbonated mixers increase
impairment. Also choose drinks with low alcohol content. |
 |
| Limit
your drinking. No more than two drinks per day if you're a man,
one if you're a woman. Don't drink every day, not more than
four days in any week. |
| Don't
"panic drink." In other words, slow the rate at which you put
away the alcohol. It's not a race. Try to limit yourself to
one drink per hour. |
| Give
yourself a break; alternate booze with non-alcoholic beverages. |
|
| Be
strong and don't give in to those immature jerks who use "peer
pressure" to get you to drink more than you want. |
|
 |
| Get
involved in activities that don't include alcohol. |
