Dear Friend,
The Fourth of July is always a good
time to reflect on our freedom and what makes our country unique.
Together, let's celebrate our progress to form a “more perfect union,”
recognize our similarities and our differences, and strive to improve
our country for our nation's future leaders.
As you prepare to enjoy Independence
Day, if you choose to drink alcohol, do so using these tips (and of
course be of legal drinking age):
|
|
Plan
ahead with
our Virtual
Bar. Remember to drink responsibly and look out for members of your
group,
too.
Understand
that
it's important to make sure
you know what
you are drinking and how much alcohol your drink
contains.
A standard drink, whether beer (12oz at 5% ABV), spirits (1.5oz at
40% ABV),
or wine (5oz at
12oz ABV),
contains the same standard amount of alcohol. Note that a standard drink
and what you are
served may not be the same thing – be aware. If you
choose to drink, follow the standard drink recommendations and stay within your
limits.
|
|
 |
Make sure you
eat! And if you are hosting, be sure to have food
available for guests or ask them to contribute to the spread. |
|
 |
Drink plenty of
water and have lots of
no-alcohol
beverages on hand for yourself and friends. Consider offering a
zero-proof
cocktail or a
no-alcohol
drink for those who are choosing not to drink or who might be taking a
day off. |
|
 |
Before
you leave home,
plan for a safe ride back or offer to be the
designated driver. Never, ever drive drunk or impaired by other substances. |
|
 |
Have a
conversation with your
kids about being responsible and model this behavior for them. This includes not only
drinking responsibly, but also following the rules in
place—like not
serving or
supplying alcohol to anyone underage. |
|
|
We are proud to have
you as part of our community that takes pride in our American freedoms, works to live a balanced
lifestyle, and
aims to be
responsible for
not only yourself
and your own family but your fellow Americans.
From all of us at Responsibility.org, Happy
4th of
July!
