There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a few, well-deserved drinks from time to time. Here are our top tips on how to Enjoy Responsibly.
It’s easy to enjoy a drink or two and still be safe. Try following these tips when you’re next drinking:
Include food! Have something to eat before you start drinking – food in the stomach allows alcohol to be absorbed more slowly.
Pacing and spacing! Try not to rush your drink, just enjoy it! And space your alcoholic drinks out with a soft drink or water in between.
Don’t feel pressured. Be careful if you’re drinking in ‘rounds’ as you might end up drinking more and faster. Try pairing off to buy drinks instead. And avoid top-ups to make it easier for you to keep track of how much you’re drinking – it’s not rude to say no!
Watch out for that heavy-hand! When you’re at home, be careful not to pour much larger measures than you would get in a bar. Buy a drinks measure to check how much you’re drinking.
Stick with friends. Don’t go to parties alone and travel home with friends too.
Take a break! If you’ve had a big night out, avoid alcohol for a couple of days.
