drinking alcohol

Drink slowly – When you do drink, pace yourself and drink slowly, one sip at a time. Also, do not have more than one drink per hour, and never exceed the allowed intake for healthy men and women mentioned above. You can also take non-alcoholic drinks in between your drinks if you must drink to reduce the affects of alcohol. These drinks can include water, soda, juice or any similar drink.

Know when to say “No” – If a friend or acquaintance at a party continues to involve you in drinking, then think straight and know when to say “no”. If you are offered a drink at some party or get together or at the time when you do not want it, then politely refuse it.
