Responsible Drinking

Tips

• Eat before you start drinking. 
• Pace your drinking by setting a time limit on how much you drink (ex. 1 drink an hour); plan the number of drinks you'll have, or alternate an alcoholic drink with a non-alcoholic drink. 
• Avoid drinking while studying; even though it may relax you, alcohol impairs your ability to retain information. 
• Choose lower-strength drinks or use more mix and less alcohol in your drink. 
• Plan ahead of time for safe transportation home. 
• Respect another's choice not to drink. 
• If someone in your group decides not to drink, support them by buying their non-alcoholic beverages for them.
