Drink Responsibly

Meeting friends and catching up for drinks sure is a pleasurable experience, but it is equally important to remain within your alcohol tolerance level, because honestly, no pleasure is dizzying enough to cost you your own life. It is really important to take control instead of letting alcohol take control over your senses and life decisions.

There are certain tips that one should follow for every alcohol outing:

Limit yourself and test your alcohol tolerance

As stated earlier, drinking should induce pleasure and should not be a form of a hindrance in your day to day life. If you do not know your alcohol limits, then it becomes extremely difficult avoiding ugly situations. Hence, you should always remember that you are a responsible adult and should be able to return home on your own, rather than being dropped by friends because you were unable to walk.

Do not drink and drive because there shall be legal repercussions

Well, every citizen knows how dangerous it is to drink and drive. Drinking sometimes induces eased inhibitions and one can lose control of the situation while on the road. Hence, it is advisable to either take taxi or ask for a drop back home.

Drinking is meant for recreation

Drinking is a form of recreation. You should never turn to drinking if you are not in great mood or a positive bent of mind.

Empty stomach is problematic

Never begin drinking on an empty stomach and ensure you sip loads of water and munch on nuts while drinking. Stay hydrated as much as possible.

Prescription medicines and drinking do not go hand in hand

If you consume prescription medicines, then you need to check with your doctor whether it is safe to drink since sometimes there can occur a reaction.

Avoid peer pressure

Do not give in to peer pressure if you do not wish to consume alcohol.

LiveinStyle supports certain programmes and policies that address issues related to any form of misuse of alcohol. We encourage responsible drinking and provide consumers with options that help them make an informed decision, rather than succumbing to peer pressure in order to create a statement of sorts since alcohol affects every individual differently, in accordance to their weight, gender, ability to process the drink and some-such characteristic traits. Also, the most important aspect here is safety. Hence we promote drinking in moderation so that every individual is in control.
