Safety Tips for Parties

  • Always go with a trusted friend 
  • Make sure before you leave to the party to have a plan with your friends / friend about how you are getting back home 
  • Do not let anyone hold your drink 
  • Do not mix drinks 
  • Try to learn your limits (for example, only stick to one drink per hour to let it settle in your body)
  • Make sure your phone is always charged before going out 
  • DO NOT drink and drive. Uber is available at all times of the day
  • Drink water after every drink or every 2 drinks. It is important to stay hydrated
  • If you can, be honest with your parents where you are going so if you need to call them for help or for a ride they can know where to find you 
  • Learn that it is okay to say NO and avoid peer pressure 
  • Only go out with friends that you can trust to take care of you, if things do not go exactly as you planned
  • Do not drink anything that does not have a label or has been opened without you seeing 
  • Do not get in a car with someone who may be high or taken other drugs
