Drink The Responsible Way
Eat food while you drink
Sip your drink. If you gulp a drink for the effect, you are losing a pleasure of drinking, namely tasting and smelling the various flavors. This is particularly true for wine.
Accept a drink only when you really want one. At a party if someone is trying to force another drink on you, ask for ice or drink a non-alcoholic beverage.
Cultivate taste. Choose quality rather than quantity. Learn the names of fine wines, whiskeys, and beers. Learn what beverage goes with what foods.
Skip a drink now and then, when at a party, have a nonalcoholic drink between the alcoholic one to keep your blood alcohol concentration down.
When drinking out, if you must drive home, have your drinks with a meal, not afterwards
Beware of unfamiliar drinks. Such drinks as zombies and other fruit and rum drinks can be deceiving, as the alcohol is not always detectable, and it is difficult to space them out.
