THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB SUPPORTS RESPONSIBLE DRINKING!

Drink too much, it gets ugly

There are a number of ways you can drink alcohol responsibly and still have fun. The below tips will help you keep in control of your drinking and prevent things from getting ugly:

Have a water or soft drink to quench your thirst before you start drinking alcohol.
Set a limit and count your drinks (it is recommended that you have no more than 4 standard drinks on a single occasion*).
Eat before and while you are drinking.
One drink at a time. Avoid drinking in rounds and topping up drinks.
Pace yourself. Have a non-alcohol drink as a spacer and take sips not gulps
Keep active. Dance, play pool etc – you tend to drink less.
Try low-alcohol alternatives (eg light or mid-strength beer).
Plan safe transport. Have a designated driver, keep enough money to pay for a taxi or use public transport.
Never mix alcohol with illicit drugs.
Always check the effects of prescription drugs are not interfered with by alcohol
If friends choose not to drink they should be supported in this decision.
If someone is drinking and passes out or becomes unable to speak, dial 000 immediately.
