It is a fine line you walk between being the life of the party and being that guy puking in a potted plant. We all have that moment where all is good and the buzz is heavy. Then, one drink later, we eclipse the threshold of casual drinker and dive head first into shirtless yeller guy. Don’t let this happen to you!
We all need to address the biggest issue with drinking… Know your limit. Unfortunately, this goal post does move, depending on the circumstances. Things like recent drinking habits (tolerance) or did you just scarf a two pound burrito or even extreme elevation can all play a role in where the line gets drawn.
Knowing your limits usually doesn’t stop the train from barreling through the stop straight to poor decision land. We all have been there, probably too many times. You can only say you’re sorry so many times. Learn to identify that one buddy who you always seem to get into trouble when you're drinking with. We are not saying to avoid this hero, just to identify the bastard. At least you’ll know what you’re getting into.
Just remember to be as responsible as you can. Don’t be a schmuck and drive when you’re wasted. Don’t hit on your buddy’s wife. Don’t drunk dial the ex. And for heaven's sake, try your best to not “be honest” in these situations with your friends! Best of luck and cheers!
