Responsible Planning

For those individuals who are entertaining guests or hosting parties, Big Beverage offers these suggestions to help promote safe and responsible drinking:

• Be sure that only those who are above the legal drinking age of 21 years are consuming alcoholic beverages.
• Offer alternatives to alcoholic beverages. Big Beverage stocks a large selection of sodas, waters, iced teas, and non-alcoholic malt beverages for your guests who wish to limit their alcohol consumption or abstain completely.
• Encourage moderate consumption among your guests and be sure to have plenty of food on hand to help moderate the effects of alcohol consumption.
• Encourage your drinking guests to make post-party driving arrangements in advance, or to utilize taxi services.
• Do whatever it takes to keep a driver who has consumed too much alcohol from getting into his or her car. Offer to call a cab or to have a sober individual drive your guest home.
