FESTIVE FUN FOR EVERYONE

HELP EVERYONE AT YOUR PARTY ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES BY PROVIDING FUN DRINKS FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING THOSE WHO CANNOT OR CHOOSE NOT TO DRINK ALCOHOL

Young people under 21 years old • People who are pregnant • Guests with medical conditions or medications • Persons in recovery from a substance use disorder • People driving after the party

OFFER A VARIETY OF APPEALING DRINKS EVERYONE CAN ENJOY.

Soda, water, and juice are simple choices. Make it more fancy and festive with options such as fresh lemonade, smoothies, unique herbal teas, or one of the recipes on the right.

DISPLAY ALCOHOL & ALCOHOL-FREE OPTIONS IN SEPARATE LOCATIONS.

Avoid asking youth or someone battling addiction to get a drink at a bar. Place alcohol to the side or in another room. Ensure alcohol is monitored by an adult.

INCLUDE JUST AS MANY (OR MORE!) NON-ALCOHOLIC OPTIONS.

Guests may feel an unspoken expectation to drink alcohol when alternatives are limited, unavailable, or boring. Release the pressure they may feel by having lots of options and letting them know the non-alcoholic beverages are for everyone, not just kids.

MAKE YOUR GUEST(S) OF HONOR THE FOCUS.

Choose a venue that reflects their values, character, or achievements. Holidays, birthdays, and milestone celebrations lend themselves to themed locations and activities. Places and activities that emphasize drinking are not necessary for having the best party ever.
