PARTY SUGGESTIONS
A
party is a great time to see old friends and to meet new people.
We can talk about our past "triumphs and tragedies" and
our plans for the future.
When we host the party, we are responsible. The arrangements for time and location are ours to make. Usually, we provide the food and entertainment. But, we are also responsible for our guests – to make certain that they get home safely after the party is over.
Alcohol-related accidents kill hundreds of persons every year. And, while it is not pleasant to think that our friends might be involved, the simple fact is that people who have had too much to drink are killing themselves and others every day. Here are some great tips to help your party be a success:
BEFORE THE PARTY
Always serve food with alcohol
Tasty snacks are not only a delicious addition to any party but can also
slow the rate at which the body absorbs alcohol.
High-protein foods such as cheese and meats are especially good because they stay in the stomach longer. Party cheese suggestions include an assortment of fresh cheeses with crackers, cheeseballs, cheese dips, cheese fondue and cheese pizza
DURING THE PARTY
Stop serving alcohol about an hour before the party is to end. During the last hour of your party, have coffee or some other non-alcoholic beverage available and top off the evening with a special food feature such as pizza or quiche Lorraine.
Neither coffee nor any other drink will help sober anybody up. Only time can do that. But, by emphasizing non-alcoholic drinks toward the end of the party, you give your guests extra time for their bodies to absorb the alcohol they have consumed.
AFTER THE PARTY
Of course, even under the best circumstances, there's always the chance that some people will drink too much. When that happens, they become potential dangers to themselves and others. Here are some suggestions on how to handle those situations:
Make the suggestion to your guest that a non-drinking guest drives him/her home. The guest can always come back for his/her car at a later time...when he/she has sobered up.
Suggest to your guest that he/she stay overnight at your home. This may involve some inconvenience for you, but you could be saving your friend's life.
