Keeping The Life Of The Party Alive
Serving mixed drinks at
your Christmas party? One
mix that doesn't work is
drinking and driving says
Iiz Negron of the Valley
Office of Traffic Safety
Eight Valleyites were 'he
victims of drunk driving on
Valley roads during the
holiday season in 1978. With
the upcoming holidays the
79 figures could surpass last
year's.
A responsible host and /or
hostess can avoid drunken
driving after a party by
taking practical steps before
it, Ms. Negron remarked.
The traffic safety office
offers the following
suggestions: Always serve
food with alcohol. Food
slows the rate at which the
body absorbs alcohol. High
protein foods such as cheese
and meats are best because
they stay in the stomach
longer.
Offer soft drinks. One third
of the adult population
chooses not to drink at all.
Also persons taking certain
medicines should not drink
alcohol.
Serve an alcoholic punch
with a non-carbonated base.
Alcohol is absorbed by the
body faster when mixed with
a carbonated drink such as
ginger ale. Fruit juice, a
non-carbonated drink, is
preferable.
Don't rush refills. Nor-
mally the body can only
absorb about one drink per
hour. Don'r rush to refill
glasses the minute they'e
empty.
Have jiggers at the bar to
measure drinks. Guests
should use jiggers rather
than pouring what seems to
be the "right amount."
Get Carried Away For The Holidays
Holidays are always ex-
citing times and hectic ones
for travelers If you plan
ahead you can save your-
self and others worry and
wasted time.
Crowds prevail, so the
wise holiday traveler will
arrive at the airport with
time to spare An hour or
more will allow you time to
check baggage, obtain seat
Traveling with carry on
luggage saves you time.
assignments, and relax un-
hurried before boarding.
Holiday trips are usually
short. To help you expedite
delays and crowded condi-
tions, today's smart holiday
travelers will carry on their
luggage. Most airlines pro-
vide space for garment bags
and carry-ons. Samsonite
has designed a series of
pieces called "Carryaways,"
a smart selection of hang
up garment bags and under
seat carry ons. Carry them
on, carry them off — no
waiting, no delays, just
more time for fun, family
and friends.
Don't double up. In
doubles guests will be
drinking twice as much as
they can handle.
Stop serving alcohol about
an hour before the party
ends. During the last hour,
serve non-alcoholic drinks
and a special food feature
such as pizza. This gives
guests time to absorb the
alcohol they drank. Nothing
can sober anyone up, only
time.
If a guest is drinking too
much, engage him in con-
versation to slow down his
drinking. Offer him food to
slow down his body's alcohol
absorption rate. Mix his next
drink light with water rather
than a carbonated mixer.
"Tis the season to be
jolly."
Careful planning of food
and drinks served before a
party can help avoid the
possibility of drunken
driving afterwards.
However, even under the
best planned parties there's
always a chance some
people will drink too much,
and if they drive they
become dangers to them-
selves and others.
The traffic safety office
offers the following
suggestions: Drive your
guest home. He can pick up
his car later after he's
sobered up.
Have him stay overnight.
It may be inconvenient but it
could mean saving a friend's
life.
Take his keys. He may
resent it, but if he's too
drunk to listen to reason, you
must take charge.
Physically restrain him.
This may seem drastic but a
drunk should not be allowed
to drive.
Call and pay a taxi to take
him home.
When all else fails, call the
police. The sight of an officer
might cause him to act more
rationally.
"When a probelm drinker
drives, it's everyone's
problem. And anything
done to keep the life of the
party alive is a step towards
solving that problem," Ms.
Negron concluded.
