Alcohol is often a part of holiday celebrations, however, unsafe alcohol use can lead to problems. I found a useful article at South Carolina’s website entitled “Tips for Organizing Alcohol-Safe and Drug Free Parties.” This article includes such tips as:
- Focusing the party on fun games or activities and not on alcohol.
- Provide plenty of food.
- Offering a variety of non-alcoholic drinks as well.
- Stop serving alcohol approximately 90 minutes before the party ends.
- Always provide alternate transportation for those who should not be driving.
The holidays always see an increase in the number of individuals who enter alcohol and drug rehab centers. Make sure that you are responsible and look out for those individuals that could be put in a harmful environment.
