Keep your spirits high without losing your head

Keep your spirits high without losing your head

Today is all about partying and making merry as we bid adieu to the year 2012! While spirits are high, it is important to ensure safety in the midst of all the revelry. Here are a few quick tips to make sure you have a good time and not compromise on your safety:
If you are planning to go out, do grab a bite. Alcohol on an empty stomach might make you ill. Make sure that you have a designated driver, if you plan to drink on your night out. Don’t give in to peer pressure — drink slowly and only as much as you are comfortable with. Also make sure you are not tired or upset before you go out to drink. Have a lot of water and alternate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic beverages if you plan to have a long night.
Men and women have different capacities, keep that in mind!
You can also download mobile applications that will help connect with friends and stay safe and prevent violence before it happens. The Circle of 6 application makes it quick and easy to reach the six friends you choose. FightBack is a women’s safety application and other similar applications like SOS Whistle, Life360 Family Locator and Bsafe can help turn your phone into a safety device while you enjoy.
Have fun but stay responsible. Stay in high spirits metaphorically not literally. Wish you a Happy New Year!
