As the sun sets each night, the spooky spirit of Halloween continues to build with each hour that passes. Finally it is the weekend! Many people may be anticipating their fun evening plans such as a party or bar crawl. Events like these bring with them so much excitement for everyone.
Despite the immense fun that comes along with party plans, I find it pertinent to remind you to always take precautionary steps to celebrate safely! Party scenes can easily get out of hand and at times become dangerous if boundaries are crossed or ignored. To help you enjoy your Halloween weekend in a safe and smooth manner, I have decided to share my best advice for celebrating responsibly.
Hydrate
Ensuring that your body is adequately hydrated is crucial for so many reasons. The body’s hydration levels help regulate your body temperature, prevent illness, keep your organs functioning properly and more. While out celebrating with friends at a party scene, it is likely that there will be alcohol present, and if you are 21 you may choose to indulge in this. To avoid the painful and often dreaded consequences of a hangover, please make sure that you are drinking, before, during and after your night out.
Have a Buddy System
Keeping tabs on your friends is always a good idea to have at a party. Sometimes a busy night can pull you apart from the original group you came in with and that is totally okay. However, should anything go wrong, it is important that you are able to be there for your friends and loved ones in trouble, or be able to have someone you trust by your side if you are the one who needs help. Whenever my friends and I go out together, we always share our location with each other, make sure to check up on everyone throughout the night & pair off in pairs of two to keep a special eye out for each other.
Energize Your Body
Eat an energizing meal and give yourself plenty of time to fully digest. Fueling your body with plenty of carbs will provide you with the right energy to enjoy the night. Additionally, eating a full meal will help your body digest and process any alcohol that you drink. Similar to the benefits of hydrating your body before a night out, fueling your body with a solid meal will help you avoid a bad hangover as well.
Know Your Limit
When taking part in a party scene, it is important to remember any limits that you have. Despite all the preparation of drinking plenty of water and eating an energizing meal, most people have a certain limit or tolerance for the amount of alcohol they are able to digest properly. It is crucial to be aware of what your alcohol limit is so that you may have a fun time out and avoid any possible dangerous consequences.
Putting these tips into action are very straightforward and easy steps that you can take to have the best night out celebrating, while also staying safe. So please do take my advice and have a happy Halloween!
