Three Ways For Safer College Drinking 0
Drinking is part of the college experience for many. Avoid the worst of the negatives by drinking safer. Here are three ways you can do that.
- Maintain control in public spaces. You need to be on point to avoid the assortment of problems that can occur while in the street or at the club or bar, such as mugging, assault, rape, etc. You should be in control physically and mentally when out and about around people you do not know.
- Be around friends. For serious drinking, as in getting really drunk, choose safe places and safe people. Don’t let your guard be down around people that are not your tight group of friends. Acquaintances can be dangerous, especially with alcohol involved.
- Know your limit and stick to it. Too much alcohol can kill. Don’t mix drugs with alcohol; you can heighten the effect of one or both substances and overdose. Stomach pumping is not fun.
Smart drinking can be fun on occasion. However, drinking to blot out or avoid problems never works. It just makes everything worse in the long-run. Best to stick to limiting that sort of stuff to when you’re already feeling good.
