Rock that!
The purpose of Can You Afford It? is not to lay down a lecture series and tell you to not drink alcohol. The majority of you will likely be drinking - that's the reality. We pass along information about the dangers of underage and/or binge drinking ... and YOU make the choice which is right for you. Sure, some of what you read on our blog seems like doom and gloom with a lot of statistics, less than attractive photos, and videos of what can happen. It's because we don't want you to become a statistic.
If you will be partying, consider the following:
1. Stick close to your friends - don't head out alone with someone you just met.
2. Don't go in the water when intoxicated.
3. Avoid drinking games where massive quantities are consumed too quickly.
4. Keep you cell phone handy.
5. If in a hotel room party, avoid the balcony.
6. "If you're hungry, eat something." - from the movie "Best in Show"
7. Avoid carrying a lot of cash.
8. Stay connected - have a daily check-in time with parents/grandparents.
9. Drunk friend? Don't let them sleep on their back.
10. Really drunk friend? If you have any concern whatsoever, call 911 immediately. "Better safe, than sorry."
