Party Smarts…<br />
Meeting new people <strong>and</strong> having a good time? Enjoying the<br />
night life in town can sometime result in exposure to alcohol<br />
<strong>and</strong> other drugs. At times it can be easy to get a little<br />
carried away <strong>and</strong> wind up having an experience you would<br />
rather forget…so if you are going to party, party smart.<br />
• Know your limits (you don’t always have to “win”<br />
drinking contests)<br />
• Stay with people you know <strong>and</strong> trust<br />
• Do not leave your drink unattended while at a bar or party where there are<br />
people you do not know<br />
• Eat before <strong>and</strong> during drinking<br />
• Don’t allow someone else to influence your decision-making. You know YOU best!<br />
