it.
4. Don’t drink anything that has an
unusual • taste or appearance (eg.
salty taste, excessive foam, or unex
plained residue.)
5. Appoint a buddy a periodically
check up on each other.
6. Be alert if one of your friends
appears very intoxicated. If someone
passes out, never leave them to sleep
it off as they could be suffering from
alcohol poisoning. Call 911 and turn
them onto their side, with their head
on its side as well, to prevent chok
ing if they vomit.
No one wants their formal night
ruined and if these rules are fol
lowed, prom night should be safe
and fun.It’s the time of year that students
are anxious for and parents worry
about - prom.
For parents who have never had a
teen go to the prom and for parents
who have been through it before, it’s
probably the party after the prom
that has them worried. Here are
some tips from www.safegrad.com
for parents to remember before their
teen leaves for the night.
1. Know where your teen will be
and get the address, telephone num
ber, and name of person holding the
party, or where the party is being
held.
2. If your teen isn’t staying the
night, make sure s/he has a ride
home with a designated driver.
3. Be a back-up ride for your teen
and let them know it’s okay to call
home for a ride under any circum
stances, even if they’ve been drink
ing.
Parents aren’t the only ones who
should be thinking ahead about for
mal night. Prom-goers need to know
that responsibility falls on them for
their choices and actions.
Here are some tips for teens on
how to “party smart” from www.mil
likin.edu and from
www.lcbo.com/prom.
1. When you go to a party, don’t
take beverages, including alcohol,
from someone you don’t know well
or trust.
2. If someone offers you a drink,
accompany that person to the bar
and watch your drink being poured
and carry it back yourself.
3. Never share or exchange drinks
and never leave your drink unattend
ed. If you accidentally do so, discard
