Whether you're planning a small, intimate gathering or throwing a large-scale get-together, these entertaining tips will help keep the holidays happy and safe for all of your party guests.
Improve the mood with food
When serving alcohol beverages, offer a variety of foods throughout the celebration. Enjoying food with alcohol can help slow its absorption into the bloodstream.
Think "To drink, or not to drink?"
Remember that some guests may prefer non-alcohol beverages or may be acting as designated drivers, so provide plenty of non-alcohol beverage options.
Understand all drinks are not consumed equally
The amount of time it takes a guest to drink one alcohol beverage greatly impacts how that alcohol is absorbed in their body. Even though a 12-ounce beer may contain the same amount of alcohol as a 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor, a beer is enjoyed leisurely, while a shot usually is consumed in one swallow.
Remember the party's not over until it's over
A successful party is one that's both fun and safe. Designate a driver, provide cab rides home or offer to let guests stay the night if they have had too much to drink. Coutesy of ARA Content
