March is here and St. Patrick’s Day is approaching. As well as this, March Madness is beginning soon, and the NCAA tournament is always a popular time for students to socialize and celebrate. Below are some tips to stay safe and enjoy the festivities this year!
Stay in the Blue: Staying in the Blue means keeping your blood alcohol content (BAC) at low-risk levels of .06 or below. Alcohol affects everyone differently – so regardless of your age, gender, physical condition, or emotional state, it is important to monitor your alcohol intake.

If you choose to drink, plan your partying:
- Eat something before and while drinking
- Decide how long you plan to drink
- Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks
- Pace your drinking and set a drink limit for yourself
