We all love beer and trust me, it makes many people’s days but there is need to do beer the right way. Earlier this week I saw an alcohol drinking competition in Kabwata where a person would drink entire glass of Castle in a less than a minute and wondered where our country heading. We need regulations! Styled up girls have been victims of alcohol mess especially when they are carried from bars ‘dead’.Here is how you can reduce alcohol mess and make boozing enjoyable.

Have Maximum beers
You can drink beer in this world but know it will never get out of stock. Before you storm the bar, you need to decide on how many beers you gonna take. That maximum beer idea must make you stay on your feet. It doesn’t cost you anything to drink and stay out of trouble. You find someone in the bar dozing off but still struggling to hold a beer in his/her mouth as if the brewery would close the next minute.

Take some water
If you feel that alcohol is taking you on, try to dilute by having juice, water, soda or any other thing that can reduce the amount of alcohol consumed in your body.

Eat and Drink
This is the biggest problem most drunkards face in town. They don’t eat at all. Even beer makers advise people to eat, drink, eat, drink so on. Some people have made their bodies addictive to alcohol that they can’t think of eating and in the end you find youthful peoples’ bodies shaking as if they are 100year olds.

Avoid mixing
This is the problem that mostly affects girls because they don’t clear their bills most of the time. They drink beer when they are buying for themselves but when someone especially a man offers them a round, they change. Girls will now attack it by ordering for spirits, wine and whiskey and most of them will end blacking out or staggering because they never watch their mixing steps.

Drink at your own pace
When you are out in a bar never try to emulate the pace at which your friends are drinking. You may not be used to it. If someone takes a minute to finish off a beer bottle and for you it can take you 20 minutes don’t try to copy the one minute man because you will end up either blacking out or vomiting in front of your pals. There is nothing as  shameful as that.

Escape
Most believe that while in the bar you’re not supposed to say bye and it has worked miracles for some people. I have a friend of mine called Simo and for him, he won’t say I’m leaving. He will move slowly as if he is going to receive a phone call and the next you will hear is him at home. If you are with friends and you notice that they are not about to give up drinking of which you can’t handle anymore then try Simo’s way out. There you will have saved your ass from embarrassment. Enjoy the coming weekend but don’t drink and drink.
