#1 Go slower

The first thing you could do, and it is quite simple, is to limit the amount of drinks you are having to 1 drink per hour.

#2 Don't bring your credit card

Another useful trick is to plan ahead and think about how many drinks you will be having so that you can limit the amount of cash you will bring. This way, you will be forced to stop drinking when you run out of money.

#3 Water

Drinking water before, during and after drinks helps with alcohol absorption. Try to drink one glass of water between each drink.

#4 Have some food

Don't forget to have some food too! Even though it doesn't actually prevent you from getting drunk, having a full stomach will make it unpleasant to have too many drinks!

#5 Don't drink by yourself

You can also ask a friend to help you take it easy with the drinks. Ask your buddy to drink the same amount as you and look out for each other.

#7 Find ways to avoid temptation

Try to avoid temptation and find activities that don't involve drinking alcohol. If you always go out just to get drunk with your friends, try suggesting a different activity next time like going bowling or going to a show.
