Who does not love a good party? We all do! But let’s face it, things can quickly go out of hand after a point when drinks are flowing. Parties are meant to be fun and not stressful. From balancing your drinks to setting boundaries, here are some important tipsy dos and don’ts that you must follow to avoid any drama and enjoy the party the best way.
Drinking at a party is fine, getting tipsy is also fine, but excessive drinking till things are no longer in your control is not. Nobody knows your body better than you, so when it signals you to stop, do so. Don’t test your limits, especially if you have fewer or none of your known people around or with you at the party to help you. Drinking enough to be tipsy can be fun and will not invite drama.
Make sure that you don’t consume alcohol only. You need to strike a balance between what you eat and drink. Also, do not consume alcohol on an empty stomach, that leads it is absorbed quickly, leading to you getting drunk. When you eat at regular intervals with your drinks, it enhances your drinking experience and also slows down the process of you getting drunk.

Try to be calm and polite with everyone. It is possible that when you are on the dance floor, someone might step on your toes by mistake, or spilled drinks are also a common thing, so make sure that you do not lose your calm and forgive people and maintain the peace of the party by avoiding any drama.
First things first, staying alert does not mean you miss out on the fun or be stressed the whole time. You just have to be aware of your surroundings. Don’t keep your drink unattended, as someone might spike it and you would not even know about it, which might lead to something bad.
Make sure that you do not share any sort of insensitive information with the people around you. This can range from personal finance topics, love life, to political or religious topics. The reason is that when you are tipsy, it is possible that you may end up oversharing, leading to embarrassing moments later.
If someone does not want to consume another glass of alcohol or does not want to take part in games or so, make sure you do not force them to. It is important to respect others’ limits and preferences, like we respect our own. By understanding someone else’s boundaries and respecting them, we can make the party enjoyable for them.

Do not call your ex, but at the same time, do not show extreme interest in someone you have just met at the party. You never know, the other person might take it as a sign to misbehave with you.
All in all, be a bit mindful and alert while you are at a party. Pace yourself and follow this list of dos and don’ts, and you can surely have a party that is not at all stressful, embarrassing, or drama-filled but super fun and memorable for good reasons.
