Part one of Pam Seatle’s three part newserial on your alcohol IQ will air on CityNews at Six. Until then, here are some things you can do to limit the chances you’ll unknowingly have too much this holiday.
Minimizing Your Risk
- Limit your consumption of alcohol. Space your drinks at least an hour apart.
- Eat something before drinking. Eating after you’ve started to drink doesn’t help.
- Try alternating alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the party to cut down on the amount you drink.
- Drink only if you want to. Don’t be pressured into accepting a drink.
- Don’t drive to the party, so you won’t have to worry about getting home. Take a taxi, public transportation, walk or decide who is to be designated driver before the party starts.
