Alcohol consumption in your first year is inevitable. Everyone and their dog know it occurs. However, the side effects to binge drinking can be significant later on in life. Here are some tips on how to maintain the wild side of the university experience.
- Know your limit: Take baby steps if you’re new to alcohol and aren’t sure how much you can handle.
- Avoid peer pressure: You may think you’re cool at the time by accepting a shot from your friend, but you won’t look so cool with your head in the toilet an hour later.
- Avoid unfamiliar drinks: I know, that beer sitting in the hallway does looks great. But you really don’t know whose lips that has touched.
- Watch your drink: Use a travel mug so nothing can be slipped into your drink.
- Don’t drink and drive: Duh.
