179. Avoid Blacking Out On Alcohol : 6 Lessons From Drinking Too Much

1 : Prepare yourself ahead of time by making sure you’re eating enough calories and drinking enough water before you go out.

2 : Be very intentional about when you send it and for what occasion. I no longer just drink to drink, I try to find a valid reason otherwise I’ll pass on it for the night which makes it much more enjoyable when I do give myself the green light.

3 : It’s a marathon not a sprint. Be very mindful of what you’re drinking and how often because these drinks can add up quickly which can result in you getting too drunk too quick.

4 : Mixing in waters often helps you not get drunk too quickly and helps from having a hangover the next day.

5 : Don’t cave to peer pressure. If someone offers me a shot and I don’t want it, I say no. I don’t care what their reaction might be or what they may say, I do what’s best for me.

6 : Be very mindful of your decisions while drinking. Easier said than done, yes, but absolutely crucial and necessary.
