Mental Health Tip Of The Week – Safe Party Tips
“You don’t need to know the whole alphabet of Safety. The A, B, C of it will save you if you follow it: Always Be Careful.”
Fall is in full swing! It’s that time of year when we embrace crisp air, cozy clothes, and pumpkin-flavored everything. It’s also a time in which students embrace partying full-on. It’s a back-to-school ritual that celebrates new friends, new experiences, and embracing new traditions and fun times. There’s nothing wrong with a little partying, but it’s so important to remember to party smart, especially as it relates to drinking. This means keeping an eye on your best friends and looking out for classmates you aren’t close with. It’s your choice whether you choose to engage in consuming alcohol or not, but if you do choose to drink, make sure to know your limits and have a plan. Here are some tips to consider:
- Know your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content). A BAC of .10% means that a individual’s blood supply contains one part alcohol for every 1000 parts of blood. .08% BAC indicates legal toxicity.
- Knowing your BAC can help you make responsible decisions when drinking.
- Avoid drinking games. These games tend to make you drink more, which leads to faster intoxication. Consider skipping the drinking game or replace your drink with water while playing the game.
- Have a plan. Know when to say “no” to another drink, know what time you want to be home by, and plan for a safe way to get back home.
- Have a buddy. Someone you trust that can help keep you on track for your plan.
- Know what’s in your cup. A standard drink varies depending on what you are drinking. Below are different amounts of alcohol which all equal 1 standard drink.
- Standard Beer: 12oz
- Standard Wine: 5oz
- Standard liquor: 1.5 oz
