Hello readers,
How can you be safe personally at a party with alcohol?
- Make sure that you have good friends around you who can look after you
- trying to set a goal not to have too many drinks for example ” I will only have 3 drinks no more and having friends around that keeps you within that goal that you have set for yourself
- spacing out your drinks for example having a cup of water between every alcoholic drink or juice.
- Keep an eye on your drink, just in case someone tries spiking it.
- do not accept any drinks from strangers as well (you never know what they could’ve put in your drink)
- make sure you’re going home with people you know and make sure it’s the same number of people you started with there.
- if you are taking a taxi home always make sure you book it or get it yourself never let anyone else get it for you.
List of 5 – 7 things that should happen to make sure you and your friends are safe if you are the host of the party
- Trying to have some parental supervision if you can if not make sure you tell an adult that you are hosting a party
- Try asking all the people there to make sure they have a ride home (with someone who has not been contaminated)
- Make sure to monitor everyone at the party.
- make sure to check people before they come in to make sure they didn’t bring any substances of any sort
- don’t force anyone to drink if they do not want to
- don’t offer to refill anyone’s drinks unless they ask
- observe the individuals and make sure they stop when they can’t handle it anymore
What should you do if a person passes out?
You should put them into the recovery position which
If a person is unconscious, or non-responsive but breathing, they should be placed in the recovery position while waiting for help to arrive If they are left lying on their back they could suffocate on their vomit or their tongue could block their airway. Putting someone in the recovery position will help to keep the airways open.
To place someone in the recovery position:
1. Kneel beside the person.
2. Straighten their arms and legs.
3. Fold the arm closest to you over their chest.
4. Place the other arm at a right angle to the body.
5. Get the leg closest to you and bend the knee.
6. While supporting the person’s head and neck, gently take the bent knee closest to you and very gently roll the person away from you.
Adjust the upper leg, so both the hip and knee are bent at right angles. Ensure the person is steady and cannot roll.
7. Tilt the head back and make sure the airways are clear and open.
what should you do if things get out of hand?
You should try to not escalate the situation pull the individuals apart and make sure that they get put into separate rooms. end the party and send everyone home and then you could try figuring out what happened after the situation dies down a bit and both the individuals have calmed down.
