Safety & Control Tips
You’re of legal age and you plan to drink…fine, but:
◄ Set a “Party Safe” goal for how many drinks you’re going to have.
Tell a friend the limit, count your drinks and stick to your goal.
◄ Remember the word HALT. Don’t drink if you are Hungry, Angry,
Lonely or Tired.
◄ Don’t gulp your drinks; you’ll get drunk faster. Drink slowly and
make it last.
◄ Don’t drink on an empty stomach. Always eat before you drink…a
full meal.
◄ Alternate between alcohol and non-alcohol beverages. Bring your
own non-alcohol drink.
◄ Before you celebrate, designate. Remember to alternate the
designated driver spot with friends.
◄ Remember, saying “No” is absolutely fine.
