<[link removed]>Hi Friend,



Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Kids are settling back into another school season in the classroom and on campus. We are all still navigating the challenges of balancing our daily lives, finding positive moments where we can, and looking forward to the rest of the year.







We can all agree on this: We all need a break. We all need Labor Day.



Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers, and the past couple of years have taken a toll on us all. We are ready to take a well-deserved day off. Celebrate the work that you do each day - as a hard worker and as a member of your community. Be appreciative to the essential workers who cannot take the day off and be sensitive to those currently searching for new job opportunities; acknowledge their dedication and efforts.  This day is for all of us.



As you prepare to celebrate Labor Day and say “farewell” to summer, do so with respect and care, keeping in mind that this day is meant for you to relax, celebrate hard work, and recognize others who are constantly showing up to make our lives better. We also encourage you to be mindful that if you choose to drink alcohol, do so responsibly using these tips: 







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 plenty of non-alcoholic beverages on hand for yourself and friends.



Consider offering a zero-proof cocktail or a fun non-alcoholic drink for those who choose not to drink or who might be taking a night off, or have offered to be the designated driver. 



If you leave home, plan for a safe ride back.



Never ever drive drunk or impaired by other substances. And make sure those around you have a safe way to get home, too.



Don’t overdo it!



Remember your limits and look out for members of your group. Be aware that not all beverages are created equally, so it's important to make sure the drink you're enjoying is a standard drink. A standard drink, whether beer, spirits, wine or other, contains the same amount of alcohol -- so if you choose to drink, follow the standard drink recommendation to stay within your limits. Plan ahead with our Virtual Bar. <[link removed]>



Talk to your kids.



Have conversations with your kids about being responsible citizens. Role play ways to say NO to underage drinking, and model responsible behaviors for them. Never purchase, serve or supply alcohol to anyone under the legal drinking age. 



From all of us at Responsibility.org, have a relaxing and rewarding Labor Day!
