Drinking tonight?

• Drink water
• Set your limits
• Pace yourself

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)
