and hangovers.
* Consider trying a virgin cocktail. After all, if your
drink has coconut, lime juice, seltzer, orange juice
and a maraschino cherry, you may not even miss
the alcohol.
* Avoid shooters, which encourage you to drink
too much, too quickly. If you want a cocktail, prepare it yourself or make sure the bartender isn't
using more than a standard measure of spirits.
* Celebrating with sober friends and/or moderate drinkers will make it easier to drink
responsibly.
If you're hosting a party or get-together, remember that you're the one who's responsible for the
safety of your guests. You're the one who needs to
have plenty of food and alternative beverages available. You're the one who should make sure no one
drives after drinking and that plenty of cabs, Ubers
and designated drivers are available.
Today, you also have the option of using technology to track, and help moderate, your alcohol
intake. There are a number of apps that offer a wide

range of functions: providing education and
insights about alcohol consumption; counting your
calories; letting you know how much money you've
spent on drinks; setting your drink limit; recording
the number of drinks you've had; and even calculating your BAC. Consider using one of these convenient apps, such as Drinking Buddy, Moderate
Drinking, DrinkControl, Drink Coach, R-U-Buzzed,
DrinkSmart, IntelliDrink, and AlcoDroid Alcohol
Tracker.
The truth is that only a small percentage of the
public will develop alcohol-dependency issues.
However, many of us will suffer in one way or
another from excessive drinking, whether it's missed
work, injuries, car accidents or just a hangover.
Remember to drink in moderation this holiday season, and look out for your sober friends or anyone
who might be drinking heavily. It's also good to take
a "holiday" from alcohol at least one day each week,
to give your liver a rest. If you drink responsibly and
in moderation, you'll have a more safe, healthy and
joyous holiday season.
