MINDFUL ALCOHOL USE OVER THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD🥂🎄by BN Psychologist Diandra Peters.

The festive season is often a time of celebrations with loved ones and for some, alcohol is a part of these celebrations. If you do plan on drinking, here are some tips to help you do so mindfully; to prioritise your wellbeing and reduce risk.

🌟Stay hydrated🌟
Drink water between alcoholic beverages to pace yourself.

🌟Follow guidelines🌟
Consider sticking to alcohol consumption guidelines: no more than 10 standard drinks per week and no more than 4 standard drinks on any one day - https://www.health.gov.au/news/australian-alcohol-guidelines-revised.

🌟Serve yourself🌟
Pour your own glass to track how much you’re drinking as it’s easy to lose count if your glass is being topped up by others. Consider waiting until you’ve finished your drink before refilling to avoid overconsumption.

🌟Keep occupied🌟
Engaging in activities or conversations with friends/family while drinking can help you enjoy the event and prevent alcohol from being the main focus.

🌟Avoid mixing🌟
Stick to one type of alcohol during an event to reduce the risk of overconsumption. Combining alcohol with other substances such as medications or recreational drugs can be unpredictable.

🌟Choose lighter options🌟
Consider selecting drinks with lower alcohol content/no alcohol (e.g. low alcohol beer or mocktails).

🌟Plan transport🌟
Arranging transport in advance means one less thing to worry about. Consider prebooking ride-share or designate a sober driver to ensure you get home safely.

If you or someone you care about is feeling overwhelmed or relying on alcohol or other substances to cope, please don’t hesitate to reach out for support. DirectLine (1800 888 236) is available 24/7 to provide immediate assistance.

Wishing you a safe and joyful festive season!
