Use alcohol in a responsible manner:

• Know your limit
• Don't drink on an empty stomach
• Space your drinks
• Use caution in combining prescription and over-the counter drugs with alcohol
• Don't use alcohol or drugs to make yourself feel better when you're depressed

Be aware of signs of acute alcohol intoxication:

• Cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin
• Breathing is slow, less than eight times per minute
