We at ivalueSafety.com want to share some Women College Party Safety Tips per the following:
- Go out in groups and make a plan about getting home.
- Decide the number of drinks you will have prior to drinking and stick to it. Count the number of drinks and spread them out over the evening!
- Don’t drink from punch bowls or pitchers – they are easy to drug and it is difficult to keep track of how much you are drinking
- Space drinks to one or less per hour.
- Look around and notice that not everyone is getting trashed – only a few people are really drinking heavily, and they are often doing something embarrassing! It’s okay not to drink!
- Know how much you are drinking. 1 drink = 1 4-5 oz. glass of wine, 1 12 oz. beer, 1 shot of 80-proof liquor. Mixed drinks may be more than one serving!
- Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and drink plenty of water.
- Agree before you go out who will be the sober driver.
- Watch your friends–if you came together and want to leave make sure they have a plan to get home safely.
- Use the buddy system. Stick together and make sure you look out for each other.
- Avoid drinking games.
- Always eat before and during alcohol consumption.
- Remember: Women are more sensitive to the effects of alcohol.
- Pour your own drinks–don’t share with others or set yours down.
- Keep an eye on your drink to protect yourself from date rape drugs – both men and women are at risk of being drugged.
- Just because someone is in your class doesn’t mean you know them as well as you think you may–think about the situation and make clear decisions.
- Have a designated driver.
- Never drink and drive.
- Never ride with someone who has been drinking or using drugs.
- Use Traveller or a sober driver at a fraternity party.
- Say “no thanks,” if you don’t want to continue drinking, or just hold a cup with a non-alcoholic beverage.
- Participate in activities like dancing, talking, and eating to take the focus off alcohol.
Do Not Drink Underage and Drink Responsibly.
