High protein and carbohydrate foods like cheese and meats are especially good. -Respect those who don't drink by providing non-alcoholic beverages -Don’t rely on alcohol to keep your party alive. Good conversation, mu sic, dancing, and games are ingre dients that make a party a suc cess. Have jiggers or self-measur ing one-ounce bottle spouts at the bar to mix drinks. -Don’t force drinks on your guests or rush to refill their glasses -Don’t double up. Drinking ex cessively is neither smart nor so phisticated. -If you see a guest drinking too much, engage him or her in con versation and offer food to slow down the drinking. -Stop serving alcohol toward the end of the party. Time is the only thing that will help someone sober UP -And most important of all, don’t get behind the wheel of a car if you’ve been drinking. When some one has had too much to drink, provide him or her with transpor tation home, call a taxi, or invite him or her to stay overnight.
