Score a Winning Touchdown!
Run
with these Super Bowl party tips:
 |
Ball ready for play–offer guests a safe and comfortable party
environment and a variety of alternative, nonalcoholic beverages and
high protein snacks like cheese and meat, which slow the absorption
of alcohol. Avoid salty snacks, which tend to promote thirst and may
cause guests to drink more alcohol. |
|
False start–illegal position or procedure–starting the party
ill-prepared to care for the needs of your guests–not having plenty
of food and alternative beverages on hand. |
|
Clock starts–your Super Bowl bash has begun. The responsible
and caring host offers guests plenty of food and nonalcoholic beverages
and monitors guests intake of alcohol. |
|
Roughing the kicker–When guests collide in a frantic attempt
to reach the meager and inadequate supply of food and alternative
beverages. |
|
Illegal participation–when a bartender or host serves a minor
or someone obviously intoxicated. |
|
Illegal forward pass–unwanted sexual advances, which can occur as
a result of intoxication and reduced inhibitions. |
|
Time out–from drinking alcohol. Hosts should offer coffee,
and dessert. |
|
Delay of game–delay guests from driving if they've had too
much to drink. |
|
Safety–make sure your guests arrive home safely. Stop serving
alcohol at least one hour before the game ends. Plan post-game activities
that do not involve drinking. Do not allow an intoxicated guest to
drive. |
|
Touchdown or field goal–your Super Bowl party is safe, fun
and a success. |
