Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs

PARTY Smart

Remember, drinking in college is not a rite of passage. The stereotype that "everyone is drinking" is not the truth. If you choose to drink alcohol, please do so responsibly by using tips from our PARTY Smart campaign.

Pace Yourself: It is not a race to see who can drink the fastest or the most number of drinks.

Alternate Drinks: Drink water or a non-alcoholic beverage between drinking alcohol. Your body can only process approximately one standard drink per hour.

Record the Number of Standard Drinks You Consume: Keep track of how much and how many drinks you are consuming.

Take Time to Eat: Never begin drinking on an empty stomach. Always eat before, during, and after consuming alcohol.

You Always Need a SOBER Designated Driver: Once you begin drinking alcohol, it is never okay for you to be behind the wheel. Have a sober designated driver planned prior to your drinking or have numbers of local cab companies on your phone to get a ride home.

Quit Smoking

If you ask anyone you know that smokes if they plan to quit, many have thought about it or have tried. Many students say they’ll stop smoking when they graduate. If you smoke or chew tobacco regularly, it’s a good idea to think about quitting. The sooner you quit, the sooner you will begin to reap the benefits from living a smoke free life.
