  1. Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions Program Information Sheet Month: February 2013 Topic: Responsible Use of Alcohol Point of Contact: NADAP Phone Number: (901) 874-4204 Topic Discussion: How to use alcohol responsibly and what the effects can be if it is not used responsibly.

  2. Tips For Party Givers: • Don't rely on coffee to sober up your guests. Only time can make someone sober. • Beer and wine are just as intoxicating as hard liquor. A 12-ounce can of beer, a five-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce wine cooler, or an ounce and a half of liquor all contain the same amount of alcohol. • Don't rely on someone's physical appearance to determine if he or she has had too much to drink. • Mixers won't help dilute alcohol. Carbonated mixers like club soda or tonic water cause alcohol to be absorbed into a person's system more quickly. Fruit juice and other sweet mixers mask the taste of alcohol and may cause people to drink more. • Make sure you know who the designated drivers are ahead of time. And make sure the designated drivers have the keys. Make sure designated drivers are parked where they are not blocked by other cars. • As the host have fun – but not too much fun. To be a responsible host, you should stay within your limits in order to make sure your guests stay within theirs.

  4. Designated Driver Do's • Designated driver gets the keys BEFORE the drinking begins. • Designated driver refuses to drink ANY alcohol. First and most important, the designated driver cannot just be whoever is the least drunk. Many people are probably guilty of having “just one glass of wine or a beer” before getting behind the wheel. Depending on a number of factors, that one drink could be ‘one too many’. Decide on who will be the designated driver before going out, and then stick to the plan • Treat your designated driver to dinner or non-alcoholic drinks. • Take turns being designated driver. • Offer to be the designated driver. Designated Driver Don'ts • The designated driver is NOT the ‘least drunk of the bunch'. • Do NOT make the same person be the designated driver every time. • NOT EVEN ONE SIP!

  5. How CSADD Chapters can help – Take Action! • Schedule “themed” Events • Races: 5K, 10K, relay race, obstacle course • Summer Bash with multiple activities. • Show awareness through Marketing campaigns and materials (Posters, coasters, table tents, key chains, etc.) .
