Easy. Here are Erin’s expert tips to help keep you and your friends safe.

• Look out for your friends. Make a pact to check in with each other.
• Whoever goes out together, goes home together!
• Watch your drink and take it with you wherever you go.
• Don’t rely on someone else to keep an eye on it, even those you trust. They could get distracted.
• B.Y.O.B. if you can. If not, watch our drink being made and don’t hesitate to get rid of a drink that tastes weird. If you doubt it, ditch it!
• Decline mass-produced jungle juice and don’t drink from bottles being passed around.
• Don’t accept drinks from a handsome (or not so handsome) stranger.
• Have a designated sober person in your group. This is the go-to person is someone is in trouble.
• Have a pre-planned way home. Program a cab number into your cell and always carry cab fare with you.
• If you smoke, bring your own. If you bum one, beware of strange tastes and odors. (Cigs can be laced with drugs, too!)
