Know Your Drinks And Your Limits When It Comes To Drinking

What The Drinks Actually Do To You

Know Your Drinks And Your Limits When It Comes To Drinking

It's the season for returning back to school and when returning back, the risks of drinking are once again more prevalent. Time and time again you'll hear the phrase "know your limits." Drinking can be fun when being responsible, but can also lead to many problems. Each drink you have lends itself to being buzzed and then drunk. But how do you know what your limit is? I did a fun experiment to see what it feels like to drink some popular drinks.

The first step was to bring someone who I knew I could trust in being my designated driver. None other than my boyfriend was the one who accompanied me to Applebee's to test out this experiment. My goal for this little fun experiment was not to get drunk, but to show people how alcohol can affect someone.

Drink 1: Large Bahama Mama

I started with a large Bahama Mama. They prove to be quite popular drinks, since Applebee's runs sales on them at night for half price. The photo shown was the actual drink. I finished it rather quickly because it was made right with not an excessive amount of alcohol or sweetener. The drink is a little bit bigger than the regular size. After one drink, I recognized that I was a little bit buzzed, but not to the point where I needed to be cut off from ordering another.

Drink 2: Regular Bahama Mama

I got another Bahama Mama, but this time, regular size. Again, I drank it rather quickly because they are one of my favorite drinks. After drink two, my boyfriend noted that I was laughing a bit more and smiling a lot. And as a side note, most times when at a college party, there is not food like when at a restaurant, so the food did help.

Unfortunately, before I could order another drink, our waiter gave us the check and I felt too bad to ask for another Bahama Mama. So after only two drinks, I was definitely buzzed but not drunk. Knowing your limits can save you an unfortunate situation from happening and feeling sick later on. Drinking can be fun, but it is good to "KNOW YOUR LIMITS!"

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
