Know your limits and respect them (before you celebrate, decide how much you plan to drink. Having a plan keeps you in control).

Alternative with water (keep a glass of water nearby and switch between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to stay hydrated).

Do not drink on empty stomach (enjoy with holiday snacks. Eating helps slow alcoholic absorption and keeps you feeling balanced). 

Take it slow (enjoy the moment. stretching drinks out helps you stay aware of how much you are having). 

Try non-alcoholic options (festive punches can feel as celebratory without the effect of alcohol).

Stay connected (support one another in making safe, mindful choices).

Plan how you will return home ahead of time (before attending any holiday event arrange transportation in advance).

It's okay to say NO (you do not have to justify skipping a drink. YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST).

Always wear your seat belt (seat belt saves lives).
