National Sobriety Day
Drink Responsibly
First you should plan your celebration. If your going to party until you drop then you should stay at home. In that case you should take a hard look at your drinking. You probably have a drinking problem. Now if your going out for a few drinks the most important people are the people your with because the people that you meet think you already have a plan with the people you came with. The people you go out with are the ones that will let you know if you're making a fool out of yourself or if there's something hanging out of your nose. For the most part when going out drinking you should always have a designated driver.
The drunken driving laws in every state are just to strick. There's always the one for one drinking. That's one bottle of water for every bottle of beer. After a full night of this you should still have a sober driver. The one for one drinking just cuts the odds in half of you making an ass out of yourself. Last of all if you don't have a sober driver please call a cab.
National Sobriety Day has other aspects such as people coming
together for sober activities. Showing problem drinkers it can be done and
promoting alternative things to drink.
Our objective of this day is to encourage people to drink responsibly, while giving hope to the problem drinker to quit.
We wish to provide activities and information on what to do and what not to do on drinking.
Excessive Drinking
Excessive drinking among our people is causing untold damage to themselves and to society. It's a well-known fact that excessive drinking can be deadly. More than two drinks a day for men and more than one drink a day for women characterize excessive drinking. Alcohol is readily available and most people enjoy drinking without problems. Drinking can be divided into four categories:
- Drinking once in a while
- Drinking regularly
- Drinking a bit to much
- Problem drinking
Excessive drinking is associated with physical
Problems, psychological disorders, violence
(including sexual assaults) and accidents. There
may be deeper underlying problems that lead
to problem drinking. It is known that depression
and heavy drinking often go hand in hand.
While this may relieve the symptoms of
Depression in the short term, it may worsen
them in the long term.
