Tips to Decrease Drinking Risk

Pace Yourself
Your body can only process one drink an hour.

Double Up
Alternate alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic beverages. Drink water before, during, and after you drink.

Speed Limit
Set limits on how many drinks you will have BEFORE you go out.

Measuring Cup
The red plastic cup does not equal one drink.

Don't Run On Empty
Eat right before you go outand while you are drinking to slow down your intoxication.

Watch Your Drink
Pour your own drinks and do not drink from open common sources, such as punch bowls and jungle juice.

Your Life Is Not A Game
Avoid drinking games and activities that cause you to lose control of your limit.

Buddy Up
Dont' travel alone, and stick with the friends you came with.

Get Help
Call 215-204-1234 (or 1-1234 from a campus phone) for help if you or a friend has had too much to drink. Temple University has a medical amnesty policy, which states that no student will be subject to university discipline for seeking medical treatment for the use of drugs or alcohol for themselves or a friend.
