Tips for a good night
Drink water between each drink to stay hydrated. You'll thank yourself in the morning!
Know your limits and establish a maximum number of drinks.
Avoid leaving your drink unattended and be mindful about accepting drinks from others.
Remember:
- Sugary drinks mask the taste of alcohol but the effects remain.
- Caffeinated drinks can make you feel more alert but you might drink more than intended.
It's not for everyone!
About 1 in 4 postsecondary students haven't had a drink in the past month, and 1 in 6 haven't had a drink in the past year.
Be careful about mixing alcohol with other drugs since they can interact in unpredictable ways, including:
Weed and alcohol
- Dizziness
- Nausea
Prescription medications and alcohol
- Nausea
- Blacking out
Other drugs and alcohol
- Various unintended effects
Look up interactions before mixing.
For a fun and safe night, don't forget:
- Charged phone
- House keys
- Full stomach
- Contraceptives
- A plan to get home safely (for example, rideshare apps, campus driving services, public transit information, designated driver)
