How To Enjoy Alcohol Without Getting Drunk by moHot(f): 6:56pm On Jul 31, 2008 |
Hey!!! My people this is a tested and trusted approach to drinking alcohol without getting drunk. Check it out!!! SET YOUR LIMITS Most of us don't know how much alcohol we really drink, so the first thing to do is to keep a diary for a week. Once you've worked out how many units you knock back, decide how much you need (or want) to moderate your boozing. The government recommends a limit of 14 units of alcohol for women per week, and no more than three per day. (For men, it's 21 units per week, four per day) SLOW DOWN One of the simplest ways to stay within your limits to drink slower. If you tend to gulp down your first few glasses, try putting down between sips. Aim to take 20-30 minutes to finish a drink. WATCH WHERE YOU DRINK Research has shown that people are more likely to drink heavily in places where lights are turned down low or the competition is high for sexual partners(for example, women will drink more when there are lot of women and fewer men around). Conversely, people tend to consume less in the presence of families, in well-lit places, and where there are activities that compete with drinking, such as restaurants. REFUSE DRINKS All your good intentions can go out of the window if you don’t resist drinks. Try taking your near – empty glass with you if you leave the table for a few minutes, so it doesn’t get filled up in your absence. If friends insist you join in every round, ask for non- alcoholic drink. If they persist, have a response already ‘I have to get up early tomorrow,’ or ‘I’m detoxing.’ AVOID PRESSURE SITUATIONS People who successfully make changes to their lives often start out by avoiding temptation for a while. So, if you know your friends are going out to get drunk, only join them if you are feeling strong – willed. if you want to go to a party but don’t trust yourself not to over – drink , pre – order a cab or drive yourself and leave after an hour or two, that way you get the best of both worlds. Or you could sign up for an early – morning exercise class. No one wants to work – out with a hangover. also, swap a night‘s drinking for a night of TV/theatre/cinema or an interesting website like www.nairaland.com that don’t require prolonged drinking. GIVE YOURSELF A REWARD Shallow but effective! Set yourself a goal, such as drinking ten units less a week for four weeks. Then, choose a reward, a shopping spree, perhaps, or a spa day or an all day fun in the stadium if you achieve it. KNOW YOUR TRIGGERS If you are a smoker, you’ll already know that smoking and drinking can be strong triggers for each other. You shouldn’t try to give up more than one thing at a time, but I suggest that quitting smoking can make it easier to cut down on your drinking, too. Other triggers include bad diet, arguments, anxiety, boredom, or stress. Be aware of your triggers and guard against them. For example, eat regular meals or phone a sympathetic friend and you’ll be partying without pain in no time. Ciao!!! |

mohot, pls dont be angry with me, i dont even know if you have some one close to you as a drunk, but from my little experience, all this write ups does not make sence. SET LIMIT. do you know that there are people that only the smell of alcohol can send them to hell? ask people around, so how do you set limit. SLOW DOWN. this one is interesting, you said that if one drinks slowly, the possibility of getting drunk is minimal? so one can drink a lorry load slowly without getting drunk.(i believe so) WATCH WHERE YOU DRINK should i comment here? sister please forget every thing about alcohol, you may write about food. thanks for reading |

Phillip my friend, u know nothing about alcohol. You may be a drinker, but it's possible to drive without knowing what's under the bonnet. SET UR LIMITS- sure, like u said everyone has different tolerance levels, that's why a limit has to be set in the 1st place. One bottle for those who get drunk at one, more for the shayo masters. But of course, guys tend to exaggerate their drinking capacity, and to set ever higher targets for themselves. SLOW DOWN- this is strictly biology & physiology. Alcohol is broken down by the liver, and you get drunk on the 'excess' that is floating around in ur system waiting to be flushed out. The liver handles approx 2-3 units ( 1 star or small stout) every hour, so if you drink at this rate then you are likely to be only minimally affected. And sure, u can drink a whole lorry-load without getting drunk, that is if u can drink at 1 bottle per hour. Would take u maybe 2 years. The article u're lambasting was well written and full of simple hard facts- so well written in fact that i'm sure it was lifted from the Net. So choose- either read and learn how to drink, or drink on in ignorance. |

Seun: Most part of it was written by me with little addition from a magazine. I have tried it on a friend who was once a drunkard;it worked well for him though it started as an advice. |
