Avoiding Problems

1. Party by the buddy system. Check in with friends every 20 minutes.
2. If you are leaving the party, let your friends know where you are going and with whom. Designate someone to be the sober "lookout" - someone who can drive and who can keep an eye on the situation.
3. Bring your own drinks. Whether or not you choose to drink alcohol, bring your own beverages and keep them in containers you can tightly cover.
4. Do not accept drinks from anyone other than a bartender or waitress. Always open your own drinks if they are offered by someone else.
5. Do not accept drinks from a punch bowl or other open container. Never leave your drink unattended. If you go to the bathroom, take it with you. If you get up to dance, finish it or take it with you.
6. Don't drink anything that has a funny smell, color or taste.
