wedding reception<\/a> is a wonderful occasion to eat, drink, and be merry. But often, with all the toasting and revelry, someone has a little too much to drink. So here are some practical tips to deal with over-imbibing:<\/p>\nIf it\u2019s you that has had too many, remember to drink water. Then drink some more. It won\u2019t cure what ails you, but you\u2019ll feel a little better come the morning. Listen and believe your friends, family or (gasp) your new husband or wife if they tell you, \u201cIt\u2019s time to slow down on the drinks\u201d or \u201cSit this next dance out.\u201d (Then follow the advice above about drinking water.)<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s a family member that\u2019s partying a little too heartily, remember that it often happens \u2013 no reason to be upset or embarrassed. Have an appropriate family member intercede. If you are the bride and your uncle has had too many, ask your dad or mom to intervene.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s a friend, ask them if they\u2019re having fun. They\u2019ll likely respond with a \u201cHeck yeah\u201d or something even more emphatic. Your response of simply \u201cI can see that\u201d might be enough to send a strong message of moderation. It\u2019s okay to use nonverbal clues like eye rolling to let a friend know if they\u2019re getting a little too wild and crazy, too.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s your boss, let him or her get totally crazy, and then they\u2019ll owe you one. Just kidding! Handle him or her like a friend (just leave out the eye-rolling).<\/p>\n
Whatever the relationship, don\u2019t let tipsy guests drive. Have the telephone number of a local taxi company that can take guests home or to their hotel if needed. That\u2019s an idea everyone can raise a glass to!<\/p>\n
At your service,<\/p>\n
