How to avoid harm to myself and to your friends while drinking?

sammie’s right. know your limits and dont drive if you’re already tipsy.

also, choose your drinking buddies well. :)

don’t be afraid to say no. its NOT cool to get too drunk you puke and can barely stand.

im not too sure if this is applicable to you but I suggest to politely decline drinks from strangers. this is why I prefer beer bottles that I personally open. if I do accept ready made drinks/drinks in shot glasses, its from the bartender or the one giving it is someone trustworthy and won’t take advantage of me/my friends.

ummm… question seems to be a little brod… so I’ll answer it according to what I feel it’s asking :P

1. know your limit and when to stop
2. have a friend who won’t be drinking too much or at all to drive
3. if everyone is drinking store car keys in a safe place where no one will be foolish to go out and try to drive and just stay/sleepover at your friend’s
4. try to avoid mixing different spirits and vodkas with eachother for that can cause alcohol poisioning
5. if at a party or club AVOID drinks from strangers (you’re NEVER CERTIN what they put in them)

butterfly had some pretty good answers. exept #4 is not accurate. Mixing differnt spirits does not cause alcohol poisioning. Alcohol poisoning is caused by quanity not types and if you mixed it or not. Mixing of differnt liquor and vodka is the whole concept of mixology.
