Saint Patrick’s Day is a fun celebration, but don’t let the fun get too out of hand! Here are some tips for staying safe this St. Patty’s Day:
Safely Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day
Wear green shamrocks and drink a pint or two, but stay safe:
- Have a designated driver
- Have a cab number on hand, just in case
- Don’t drive yourself or with someone who will be drinking, so there is no danger of you feeling “capable” when you are “just slightly tipsy.”
Avoiding Alcohol Poisoning
Alcohol poisoning can be dangerous and takes all the fun out of the party. When you drink too much or too fast, your body cannot absorb the alcohol. The NIH (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism) recommends no more than 4 alcoholic drinks in a single day for a male and no more than 3 drinks in a single day for a female.
- Limit your number of drinks
- Sip slowly
- Drink a glass of water in between each alcoholic beverage
- Eat a good dinner so you aren’t drinking on an empty stomach
