Who or What will you pick up at the Party?

Being intoxicated lowers your inhibitions and can put you in risky situations. People don’t always make the best choices when they are under the influence of any drug (including alcohol), so it’s good idea to make informed decisions when you are not intoxicated. The more you think about it, and the more you learn, the better the chance you’ll avoid the serious (and sometimes irreversible) consequences. Be aware!
