12 TIPS 4 SURVIVING the party season by Janet Gourand ( Founder of Tribe Sober)
Be assertive when offered a drink, a firm “no thanks” is going to work better for you than “I really shouldn’t”. 10. Remember it’s just one night: The average night out lasts only about 5 hours. A good night depends on so many things; the mood you are in, the venue, the music, the people you are with – not just the contents of your glass. Cast your mind back and you will remember plenty of nights out that were decidedly average despite copious amounts of alcohol. 1 1. Prepare an explanation: Frankly, it’s nobody’s business but people are very nosy. In a shouty party, it’s usually easier to lie – “I’m on meds” is a quick and easy one. 1 2. Play the movie forward: You are going to feel so great tomorrow morning and many of these other people are not!! No danger of you having to do the walk of shame in the office and when you are sober the chances of you making a fool of yourself (or crashing your car) are greatly reduced.
