ShOrTnSwEeT42094 answered Saturday July 2 2005, 6:46 am: Well,it's usually good to have a DD(Designated Driver),if you're too young to drive,maybe you have an older sibling or cousin(like I did) that you trust to come and get you,get you home in one piece,and not tell your rents!The cab thing-I'm leary about that,since the driver is a stranger and you may be tipsy,at night,on a country road,you don't know WHAT they're capable of!Also,if you can,staying the night at this house where you'll be partying is a good idea too.That way nobody risks driving drunk or getting caught.If you wanna do that-just call home and say "hi mom,i'm sorry for calling late but i wanted to check in with you,let you know i'm alright.since it's so late and all,and we're beat,i was just gonna stay here for the night if that's cool with you.that way i won't wake you comin in the house and you'll know that i'm someplace safe and sleepin."! NOW,if you stay at this place,you make sure that it's cool with the adult or owner of the house/apartment.Your rents may just check on you when you least expect it-so be sure you honestly have a place to safely stay.
As for safe drinking tips:
*NEVER leave your drink unattended!!And if you do,don't go back to it and drink it!Just get a whole new drink!
*Don't mix too many drinks,ESPECIALLY the fruity tropical type drinks,that will make you sicker MUCH faster than others.And mixing a bunch of different drinks-just say hello to a hangover and throwin up! :(
*NEVER drink on an empty stomach!You will get drunk much faster,and you will also be REALLY sick! SO not pleasant.
*Know your limits.If you're feeling a little buzzed and "happy",leave it at that.Never put yourself in a position where you're unaware of your surroundings,or you're starting to feel strange.Always make sure you remain aware and in control of the situation.
*Don't share a drink with someone you don't know!It's cool to share with a best friend or something,but NEVER EVER with someone you don't know!Just politely say "naw that's ok,i'm cool thanks"! And if someone offers to get you a drink,always make sure to SEE them poor it,so you know there's no chance they could slip anything into your drink.
*If you find yourself getting a little TOO hyper and "happy",try excusing yourself into the restroom,and splash your face with some cold water.Take a minute to sit alone,take some deep,slow breaths,and allow your mind and body to relax.So long as you haven't had that much to drink,like you say you don't want to,you should be just fine.
*Lastly,if you are a little tipsy,and you recognize that,don't put yourself into a position where you are alone with a person you don't know and "things" could happen.If you avoid the situation all together,nothing bad should happen.
Nothing wrong with drinking a little and having fun at a party,so long as you're smart and safe about it.Hope I don't sound too motherly here,lol,and I hope I helped some.Since I don't know how old you are some of these things vary with your age and your size(weight & height).I AM 21 so if ya wanna ask anything else about these kinda things feel free to write me!Be safe and HAVE FUN!! :) P.S. If ya wanna hide alcohol on your breath,pack plenty of gum,breath mints and breath strips! ;) [ ShOrTnSwEeT42094's advice column | Ask ShOrTnSwEeT42094 A Question ]
