Lifestyles Ideas Management - A responsible drinker

Please keep these rules in mind to avoid over-indulgence, band after effects or the danger of becoming addicted in the long term.

It is common to see youngsters drinking in the Pub after a hard day’s work and getting drunk and suffering a hangover coming in the office the next morning.
Drinking is an over-indulgence activity and most of them are addicted in no time.
Drinking should be at your own pace. One way to get out of the binge drinking behaviour is to not try to keep with other drinkers. It is not drinking but drowning.
Avoid eating salty foods or snacks as this will encourage you to drink more quickly. Limit yourself by setting and stick to them for example, having no more than two drinks during the whole evening, this can correct binge drinking behavior. Drink water or other non-alcoholic beverages in between cocktails or beers. This will slow down your rate of alcohol consumption, as well as make you feel fuller faster. Set regular “non-alcohol” days during the week and stick to them. Do not allow your drink to be filled up as you may lose track of how much alcohol you have consuming. Instead, finish a drink slowly and with food. Take along a non-drinking buddy or a non-binge drinker as having like-minded company helps in resisting pressure to join in.
