PAGE 8 The News Argus Nov. 4, 1988 HOMEC Tips advise how to keep tabs on alcohol STAir RFJOKT Keep these tips in mind from the Will Rogers Institute in mind as you party this week end. Recent national polling reveals that less than half the public knows the crucial formula: the most common servings of beer (12 ounces), wine (5 ounces), spirits (1 1/4 ounces) and wine coolers (12 ounces) contain equal amounts of alcohol. After your next tailgate party or happy hour- -whether you've had beer, wine or spirits, don't drive. One American dies in an alcohol-related accident every thirty-five minutes. Better walk an extra mile or spend the night at a friend's than risk taking lives on the road. Eat something-before you go to a party and while you're there. Never drink on an empty stomach. Solid food like cheese can slow down the alcohol absorption rate. If you're throwing a party, serve lots of munchies and plenty of m'xers. Adding tonic, soda, or other mixers to spirits or wine slows down the rate of alcohol intake. Don't be pushed into drinking more than you can handle or pressure your friends to keep up with you. Everyone has an individual toler ance. Let your friends pace themselves. Keep a watchful eye: Cocktails should con tain no more than 11/4 ozs. of spirits, wine is commonly no more than 5-oz. serving and a typical serving of beer is 12 ozs. If you're mix ing your own drink, use a shot glass to measure liquor. Know yourself- and your mood. If you rarely drink, chugging a few beers will affect you faster than it would affect someone who is accustomed to drinking. Your mood can also influence the way you react to a drink. If you’re depressed over a test or anything else, drinking will depress you further. said.
