Calling Time on Binge Drinking
When your instinct says there is trouble ahead - there probabaly is...
Some advice to remember...
- Plan the journey home or agree who will drive and not drink.
- Book taxis for the journey home before you go out.
- Eat before you go out.
- Don't accept drinks from strangers.
- Don't leave your drink unattended.
- Drink water regularly and before you go to bed at night.
- Alternate alcoholic drinks with soft drinks or water.
- Don't try to keep up with friends who drink more than you.
- Try to avoid buying drinks in rounds.
- If possible, sit down whilst you drink - you will drink less than you would standing up.
- Use more mixers - diluting a drink with a mixer will make it last longer and lessen the effects of alcohol.
