Hi there, Heidi here with some tips about how to handle alcohol. I hear from many of our clients that alcohol can be a challenge. As we know many adults like to have beer, wine, and cocktails when they’re relaxing and socializing. So, clients often wonder how to handle these situations. Here are a couple of tips that not only work for our clients, but I have also tried them and have found success. See what you think!
Good Swaps:
· Try flavoring water on your own by adding fresh slices of lemon, lime or cucumber to a glass pitcher of water. The flavor will keep it interesting so you don’t get bored.
· Instead of relaxing with a glass of wine etc. why not try some herbal teas.
· Swap out alcohol with flavored seltzers and put it in a fun glass.
Smart Tricks:
· If someone hands you some alcohol take it and then put it down somewhere else. This way you can avoid an uncomfortable conversation, as well as avoid bringing any unnecessary attention to yourself.
· Bring a hot or iced coffee or tea with you to your gathering in a large size. This amount will take a while for you to drink and will keep you away from other things.
· Opt for flavored seltzer water, or club soda with a lime, and pour it into a fun glass. This way no one will question what why you’re not drinking because it will look like you have one.
· Station yourself away from where the drinks are and get involved with an activity or conversation.
Try one of these ideas yourself the next time you reach for a glass of something or get together with friends and family, you may just be surprised at how easy the transition can be!
