DUI Tampa Holiday Party Tips
baynews9.com - News: "Tips for preventing intoxication and injuries and accidents on our roadways:
Serve a variety of beverages; not everyone drinks alcoholic beverages. In addition to alcohol, serve non-alcoholic fruit punch, soft drinks, coffee, and tea.
Prepare high protein food: cheeses, meats, hard-boiled or deviled eggs, seafood, fresh vegetables. Protein foods slow absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. But avoid thinking that you can drink more because you're eating protein foods.
Avoid too many crackers and chips; they speed up alcohol entry into the bloodstream and increase the blood alcohol level at a faster rate.
Serve only coffee and tea and non-alcoholic beverages during the last hour of your party. This will allow some of your heavier drinkers an opportunity to eat and reduce their blood alcohol levels.
It is your responsibility to arrange for an intoxicated guest to arrive home safely. Drive him home, call a taxi, or have another guest take him home.
Don't feel bad singling people out to be 'cut off' from the bar. Consider asking them to eat before having more beverages or make them far weaker drinks than they would make themselves.
If you have a guest who is hovering by the bar and emptying the Bacardi bottle, then remove it. "
