Other tips to "avoid" alcohol during Tet

Here are some tips from Australia's alcohol harm reduction organisation Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) to help people have fun without drinking too much.

How to reduce alcohol drunkenness?

There are several ways you can avoid getting drunk:

Don't drink before going out. Studies have shown that drinking before an event increases the amount of alcohol you drink and can increase your risk of hospitalization or other accidents or injuries.

Set a drinking limit and stick to it. Don't feel pressured to drink.

“Pour the concrete” first. Don’t drink on an empty stomach. When there is food in your stomach, it takes longer for your body to absorb the alcohol.

"Dilute" your alcohol. Drink plenty of water while drinking alcohol.

Don't drink and drive. Alcohol affects your ability to drive safely and can get you fined for driving under the influence.

The safest way is to arrange for another means of transport such as Grab or taxi, or arrange for someone who has not been drinking to take you home, or walk if it is close, according to ADF.

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking medication.

If you invite guests

Choosing non-alcoholic beverages is an effective solution when you cannot avoid drinking.

Choose hearty "snack foods." It's best to choose hearty foods instead of snacks that are salty or sugary. This will help you avoid getting drunk too quickly.

Choose non-alcoholic beverages.

Incorporate games and entertainment. Plan activities like karaoke, dancing, or games. This will ensure everyone has something to focus on other than drinking.
