    Binge Drinking: Do's and Don'ts

    The Rights and The Wrongs of Drinking Alcohol

    The Rights

    • Know how much you can drink and stay within that limit before you lose control of yourself and could be in danger.
    • Eat food before drinking because food in your system allows the alcohol to be absorbed slower thus affecting the drunken process.
    • When buying a drink remember other things that the money could go towards that is more beneficial then alcohol.
    • Do not drink on consecutive nights give your body a break.
    • When you drink remember that you do not have to just drink alcohol, drink something non-alcoholic as well.

    The Wrongs

    • Drinking alcohol fast or one after another that's the quick end to what is not going to be a safe evening out.
    • Drinking to fit in? If you have to drink to fit in there is a problem with the scene you are in.
    • Drinking with people who make you uncomfortable or unsafe'a sure prelude to disaster.
    • Drinking to get drunk? You may think it sounds fun but in the end how much fun can it be to risk harm to yourself and others.
    • Being forced to drink by others? Now when people put your safety at risk at the hands of alcohol. Think is that where I need to be.
