• Don't go to a party you haven't been invited to. Even with good intentions, an "open house" party is a high-risk situation.

• If you're over 21 and choose to drink alcohol, keep your consumption MODERATE. (0 drinks if you're driving, 1 per hour sets the pace, and no more than 3 drinks per day.)

• If you're drinking, also eat food.

• Bring a friend and look out for each other.

• Leave your valuables at home. Only carry the money and ID you'll need that night.

• Don't get your hosts in trouble! Don't sneak an underage drink, carry alcohol outdoors, or disturb their neighbors.
