Enjoy
Your Night Out.

OPUS
wants you to enjoy your night out at our
venue and the best way to do this is to drink sensibly.
Below are some hints and tips to ensure you enjoy
your night at our club! |
| Plan
how you're going to get home before you leave.
Make sure you've got numbers for taxis and keep aside
enough money to get home safely |
| Eat
before you go out, or during the evening |
| Drink
water regularly to stay refreshed and rehydrate |
| Use
soft drink spacers to pace yourself - a tonic
looks just the same as a vodka and tonic. A cola looks
the same with or without the rum |
| Remember
that too much drink will do nothing for your looks
- you're drop dead gorgeous until you drop down drunk |
| And
don't succumb to the beer goggles effect -
you might think you've met your dream date - until the
effect wears off |
| Don't
accept drinks from strangers and never leave your drink
unattended - it's all too easy for someone
to spike your drink |
| Carry
a condom - and insist on using it if you get
it together |
| Look
out for your friends and make sure they look
out for you |
Tips
for the Morning After!
If
in spite of your best intentions you end up drinking
more than you should, there are a few things you can
do to ease the morning after. |
| Drink
as much water as you can before going to sleep,
and put some beside the bed. |
| A
painkiller - soluble is best - helps with the
headache |
| Take
an antacid to settle your stomach |
| Alcohol
is a depressant, so tea or coffee can perk
you up (but it can dehydrate you, so keep up the water
as well) |
| Drinking
lowers your blood sugar level, so eat as soon
as you can. Bananas, cereal, or egg on toast are all
good morning-after snacks |
| Never
ever do hair of the dog - you'll just prolong
the agony |
| Have
48 hours off the booze if it was a heavy session |
