Christmas is just a few days away and don’t say you cannot smell any festivity in the air yet! It is again that time of the year when friends and family come together to partake in the joyous occasion and have a merry time together. During the festive season, arranging or being part of a social gathering where you enjoy alcoholic drinks and sumptuous foods, is not a rare sight. You can even order your favorite drink through a liquor delivery Calgary service and relish a few moments of happiness.
Socializing on special occasions, for example: it is Christmas time now, ensures maximum enjoyment and provides relief from the regular monotonous affair. Since it is the time for carousal and merriment, it is not impossible to over-indulge while drinking wine, whiskey, beer, rum, etc.
In this blog, we shall tell you about how to enjoy your alcohol this festive season safely and in a more right way, without risking your health after the celebration is done and dusted!
What is the safety limit for drinking?
According to the guidelines of the National Health and Medical Research Council(NHMRC), both men and women can consume two standard drinks (any drink containing 10 grams of alcohol) on a single day. This is effective in reducing long-term health risks like diabetes, cancer and so on.
Tips to drink safely during Christmas and have fun
Too many cooks spoil the broth. Similarly, too many drinks can ruin your party mood. Drinking excessively could take all the fun away from your celebration. So, here are some tips to ensure you have a gala time while following a safe alcohol consumption pattern, whether you order your preferred wine through wine delivery in Calgary service or bring it from the store.
1. Remember how much you are drinking: When you are in a friends group at a party, meeting after 5 or 6 years and catching up on the latest news, it is natural to lose track of how much alcohol you have consumed. But that shouldn’t be the case; you should be aware of your limits and keep a track of how much drink you are consuming. Some easy ways to do this are:
- Don’t refill half-empty glass: No sooner than your glass becomes half empty, again it is refilled. Be careful as it is difficult to keep a track of how much alcohol are you actually consuming.
- Check the label to know the alcohol percentage: Any drink that you order through a liquor delivery service, must have a label around the bottle. Read this label carefully to know the alcohol percentage it contains.
2. Set a limit: Safe alcohol consumption can only be successful when you know when to stop. Set a limit for yourself, for example, 4 standard drinks or so. As soon as you reach this limit, it is time to stop and say NO to any more drinks even if your friends insist. Be firm and resist the temptation!
3. Have low-alcohol options: The amount of alcohol present in the drinks is variable. For example: a strong beer contains approx. 5% alcohol while a light beer has 2.7%, wine has 9-13% alcohol and so on. Since you will be attending quite a few pre-Christmas and Christmas celebrations, you can go for drinks that have lower alcohol levels. If you are organizing a party, certainly order for some low-alcoholic drinks through a wine delivery in Calgary service.
4. Eat sufficiently: Drinking alcohol without eating food can be injurious to your health. The best way to curb the intoxicating effects of alcohol is to eat good food while sipping your drinks.
Conclusion: Christmas is meant for enjoyment and doing whatever makes you happy. But that doesn’t mean drinking unlimitedly as you fall sick and spoil not only yours but also your family’s fun. So, contact a liquor delivery Calgary service provider, order your preferred drink, have it safely and enjoy your Christmas till the last drop. And most importantly, remember the above-mentioned tips to have a more safe and healthy celebration time. To know more about our liquor delivery service, get in touch with us.
