Life Advice-New Years Eve

Hello & Happy New years to all my readers out there! 

This post is a little more serious compared to my previous topics, don't get me wrong I'm dead serious about all this boyband/fashion malarkey but this is like life or death serious- lol-no laughing. *clears throat* I should have predicted this would happen a lot sooner therefore this post would have been written for you all to read and take heed. (I'm really trying to be serious here but I just rhymed unintentionally lol) 

We all get caught up in the hype surrounding New Years Eve and the immense partying that usually goes down, I definitely planned to be apart of the loud, free spirited crowd who stumbled down the street with all my mates down from Uni, but it didn't end that way at all. I was stumbling down the street, but with one of my closest friends who was completely comatose from drinking too much too fast. Although experimenting with alcohol can be fun as you feel complete euphoric adrenaline pump through your body, what young people in particular are unaware of is the fact that this alcohol which lots of people will refer to as the Devil's nectar, is flowing straight through your bloodstream and slowly poisoning your brain. 

Going out clubbing or even to a house party is my idea of fun, being surrounded by all your mates, loud music and a thick bass making your chest vibrate is complete escape from a mundane and dead week at work or college/uni but when that good night is ruined by someone elses irresponibility you have to know what signs to look for and keep calm so you can be an efficient help. Here are some tips for you:

When drinking:

-Know your body, personally if I drink on a full stomach a chunder is defo approaching but it is not usually a good idea to eat on an empty stomach 

-Never put your drink down-You dont want to get SPIKED 

- Pace yourself, unless you're a complete lightweight you wont feel the effects immediately, take your time, you've got all night there's no rush

-KNOW YOUR LIMITS- I can't stress this enough, limits are based on the individual, size, weight, age and gender all constitute how your body is affected 

Helping A Friend:

-Give them water but no too much because it will fill them up and force them to be sick which isn't always helpful 

-If they are chundering, make sure you lean them forward so they don't choke-DO NOT EVER force them to be sick! Their brains aren't functioning properly so their gag reflex isn't good, they could choke and potentially die. 

-Don't try to walk them around if they are unresponsive (but obviously still breathing) again their brains are slow and trying to make them walk could cause both you and them injury 

-DON'T LEAVE THEM, no matter how tempting it may be to get back to the party, your friend needs you now more than ever, if you leave them alone anything could happen, they are completely vulnerable and helpless 

-Get help, no one expects you to do this alone, if things get too scary and there's no one to help call the emergency services and they'll take over 

Anyway, keep safe guys, you don't want to be that friend and you definitely don't want to be the person left responsible for someone else's life.

HAVE FUN but be responsible for your body!
