Stay smart. Stay safe. 🍻💡

If you choose to drink, keep these tips in mind:
• Pace yourself – aim for one drink per hour ⏳
• Hydrate – alternate পানি with water 💧
• Eat before & during drinking 🍕
• Know your limits – your body, your choice
• Stick with friends & look out for each other 👯
• Plan a safe ride home 🚗

Alcohol awareness isn’t about saying “don’t”—it’s about making informed, safer choices.

Alcohol Awareness by the Numbers 📊🍻

• About 1 in 4 college students report academic consequences from drinking (like missed classes or falling behind).
• Nearly 60% of college students say they’ve consumed alcohol in the past month.
• Around 1,500 college student deaths each year are linked to alcohol-related unintentional injuries.

These stats aren’t here to scare you—they’re here to inform and empower you to make safer choices 💡

Stay aware. Stay safe. Look out for yourself and your friends 💛

Myth vs. Fact: Alcohol Awareness Edition 🍻🧠

Myth: “Everyone drinks in college.”
Fact: Not everyone does—and many students choose to drink responsibly or not at all.

Myth: “Coffee sobers you up.”
Fact: Time is the only thing that lowers blood alcohol levels. ☕❌

Myth: “I’m fine to drive after a few drinks.”
Fact: Even small amounts of alcohol can impair judgment and reaction time. 🚗⚠️

Knowing the facts helps you make safer, smarter choices. Stay informed, stay safe, and look out for your friends 💛

Today was all about safe tips, choices, and having fun without the pressure! We loved seeing everyone come out to our Safe Alcohol Practices Outreach with Counseling Services and PLC! From learning how alcohol can impact academics and safety, to exploring sobertivities (yes… including pin the tail on the bulldog 🐶 🎯), y’all showed up and showed out.

Awareness = power and making informed choices really does make a difference

Know the facts before you sip 🍹📊

College students who drink are more likely to experience academic struggles, injuries, and risky situations—but awareness = power. Making informed, safer choices can make all the difference.

Join Counseling Services and on April 8th from 11–1 in Centennial Plaza for a fun Safe Alcohol Practices Outreach event! 💡✨

Advocacy starts with awareness 💙

Support students with developmental disabilities by listening, learning, and speaking up for accessibility and inclusion on campus. Small actions — like using inclusive language and challenging stigma — create big change.

Be an ally. Build a campus where everyone belongs. 🌟
