You Have The Power To Create Your Own 21st Birthday Experience!

The key to creating a great experience is to:

• Begin planning early. Having a plan to share with others can create positive social forces that support your drinking values.
  
• Decide what you will do. To limit consumption devise some activities that don’t involve drinking or plan an early activity the following day.
  
• Decide how much you will drink, what you will and will not drink, whether you will take shots, etc.
  
• Communicate your plan to a friend who will help you plan and communicate your drinking intentions to others.
  
• Create moderate drinking influences, like inviting moderate and non-drinkers, parents or guardians, or other people who will have a moderating influence.

What I Want For My 21st Birthday Experience:

Here are some things to consider:

• What are some fun things you want to do on your birthday?


• How much do you want to drink?


• Will you do shots?   How Many?


• What types and brands of alcohol will you drink?


• What types and brands of alcohol will you not drink?


• Who do you want to help you plan your celebration?


• Who will look after you, and make sure you don’t drink too much?

Choose Alcoholic Beverages Based On Alcohol Content

Here are some general guidelines:

• Stick with beer.
• If you do shots, space them out so they don’t hit you fast.
• Avoid multiple shot drinks.
• Avoid dark liquors to reduce the hangover.

Remember, your plan could fall apart if you become more impaired, so have a friend to help you implement your plan and keep you safe.
