When consuming alcohol, in private or a social setting, there are some tips you should consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count the pours, not the drinks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not all drinks are created equal. Sometimes drinks can have heavier pours than others. Be mindful of how much alcohol you are consuming rather than the number of drinks. This photo is a great reference to count the pour of the alcohol in your drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Light<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alternate drinking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol dehydrates your body, to make sure you’re slowing down and staying hydrated, alternate between drinking alcohol and drinking water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take it slow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Slowing down your consumption of alcohol is healthy for your body and mind. Sip slowly and try to consume no more than one drink per hour. This will allow your body enough time to break down that alcohol and allow you to recognize when it’s time to stop drinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When going out to a party or bar, planning can help the night go smooth and safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
